The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Zack sat down on a chair. “Sophia’s smarter than I think. I couldn’t have found out about this guy if it were up to me.”

To that, John smiled. “She’s always been smart. I used to think she wasn’t, but now I know I was wrong.”

John chuckled. “You’ll know why when you fall in love.”

John squinted. “Maybe she is innocent.”
