The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

They went into the shop and ordered something to drink. Isabelle looked outside and made a seemingly offhand statement. “Miss Gwendolyn seems to be walking oddly the last time I saw her.”

Matilda chuckled. “Is that so?” she answered with a question.

When it was almost time, she made some small talk with Isabelle and hailed a ride home. John was already there and had lunch when she came home, while Sophia was on a recliner in the yard, looking relaxed.

John was looking in a certain direction in the yard, and when Matilda got out of the car, she heard him say, “You think it’s here too?”

Sophia didn’t look where John was looking. “Yeah, I think so. You might want to check if any unit was rented out and who the tenant is.”

John nodded. “Yeah. I think that’s about the angle, but I didn’t manage to look into it closely.”

Matilda went up to them. “What are you two talking about?”
