Elio sipped on his Coke as he made casual conversation.

Leah Calloway thought for a moment, “Well! I’m thinking about going back to my country”

Elio was taken aback, staring at her in surprise, “Going back? Why the sudden decision? I thought you said you had no plans to go back.”

Elio lowered his gaze, sipping his Coke in silence.
