The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

It was so obvious to her that he was acting weird that she couldn’t look past it.

Meanwhile, John didn’t return to his room but went downstairs again and stood in front of the glass windows in the living room. Actually, he had no idea what was going through his mind, yet his heart was in a whirl, carrying a small glimmer of hope. At the same time, he was afraid that he was overthinking.

Without a doubt, he wouldn’t be able to fall asleep now, so he went to grab a beer which Logan had brought over in the evening, thinking that they could hangout for a bit, but that didn’t happen.

Taking a seat on the couch, John opened the beer and started drinking by himself in silence.

In the middle of the night, Sophia woke up to use the bathroom, but no matter how she tried afterward, she couldn’t go back to sleep. Hence, she walked out of her room and, in the hallway, saw that there was light at the top of the staircase. Fearlessly, she slowly went over and looked downward.

She saw John sitting on the couch and a few empty beer bottles on the coffee table. Taken aback, she decided to join him downstairs.

Pacing next to him, it was clear that he had a drink too much, and he only realized her presence when she gave him a nudge. With reddened eyes, he gazed at her for a couple of seconds before reaching out and grabbing her toward himself. “Sophia.”

She murmured in assent. “What’s up with you? Did you drink too much?”

“No, I didn’t.” He chuckled. “I didn’t drink too much. This is nothing. I can drink very well.”
