Sofia’s POV The man crouched down, almost in the same spot Luca had crouched down in and I felt my body start to stiffen up a little. I watched as Luca stood right in the spot he had crouched down in, minutes ago, his hands deep in his pocket and his eyes staring down at me – making me notice once again, just how big and tall he was at the moment.I had no idea if I was going to be as tall as he was if I stood up on the couch– that was how small I was compared to him.“Hello, Mrs Luca.” The man who had crouched down before me started to speak and I focused my eyes on him once again, feeling a light color of embarrassment start to flood my cheeks at being referred to as ‘Mrs Luca’ in the presence of Luca himself.“Hello,” I whispered to the man in reply, sucking in a sharp, audible breath when something squeezed in the lower part of my abdomen painfully.“How are you feeling now?” The man asked and I stared at him quietly, wasn’t it obvious to him that I was hurting at the moment?“My

Sofia’s POV “That’s all, Tyler, right?” I heard Luca’s voice echoed throughout the sitting room from a spot behind me and quickly turned my head around to check where he was speaking from.He was leaning against the wall, a few feet away from the doorway leading out of the sitting room and I turned my head back around and stared back down at my thighs the moment after our eyes had locked and held for a fleeting second.Luca had been there this whole time?The fact or probability that he had been there, staring at me as I had spoken to the doctor in a way that might have been almost borderline rude was making my stomach knot up unconsciously. I shifted on my seat, tangling my fingers together and brushing it lightly against my gown-covered thighs, sending a quiet thank you to God for making me decide to wear a gown that was quite long compared to the rest of my clothes, this morning.“Yeah, I’m almost done.” The doctor, Tyler, replied to Luca before shaking a cup shaped plastic over a

Sofia’s POV “Sofia?” Matilda whispered out in a soft voice after a few minutes of the sitting room rendered in complete silence after I had started crying. I had already stopped crying after a few minutes but still remained in her arms because it had felt really nice for once in my life.I pulled out from her arms and her hands fell off my shoulders immediately as I sat up on the couch and stared at her. I had no doubts that my eyes were puffy at the moment due to me crying.“Yeah?” I whispered back, allowing my eyes to slide close as I caressed my fingers over my closed eyelids while bracing myself for Matilda prying nature to demand the reason as to why I had unexpectedly started crying all of a sudden.“Do you feel a little bit better now?” She asked and I blinked my eyes open to stare at her, a confused look crossing my face for a few seconds as I watched her closely, wondering why she wasn’t asking the usual questions she’d have started asking immediately.I nodded my head once

I picked up the glass of water and took a small sip, wincing a little when my throat hurt in retaliation almost immediately, right before I set the bottle back on the counter and reached for the packed drugs sitting a few feet away from my glass of water. I dug into the bag and ruminated through it until I touched the stuff which was almost resembling candies, which the doctor had said was for sore throats. I tore open two pieces and threw the orange colored candies into my mouth and was pleased that it didn’t have a horrible taste like I had first started to unconsciously anticipated. It tasted minty and has a lime taste underneath it. All in all, it was kinda sour and minty at the same time and I loved the way the taste melted into my tongue immediately, soaking up my taste buds and sliding down my throat after a few seconds.The pain in my throat didn’t reduce immediately, and it wasn’t like I expected it to reduce immediately– because I knew it wasn’t magic and would need some ti

Sofia’s POV I rolled unto my tummy and yawned a little into the sheets before unconsciously scratching and rubbing my face absent mindedly into the soft material of the bedsheets, my limb feeling heavy as I finally forced myself to turn around until I was lying on my back once again, right before I blinked my eyes open and stared straight into the empty spot on Luca’s side of the bed.I pulled out my left hand from beneath the bedsheets and rubbed my fingers against my eyes for a few seconds before covering my mouth with my hand and yawning directly into it. Turning around until I was laying on my back and staring into the ceiling, I took in a deep breath and let it out slowly, as I allowed my mind to start to slowly wander around.I moved my right hand which was beneath the sheets around a few times until it was patting against the lower part of my stomach lightly, the fact that I had slept like a baby without waking up for once throughout the middle of the night, and don’t remember
