“But I wanna know. I’m worried about you. What happened to your parents?” He insisted.“There’s really nothing more to say, honestly. I was adopted by my dad when I was three. My mom passed away a couple years ago.” She explained.“What made her leave? Was it because of what your dad had been doing?” Max inquired.“Something like that. Yeah. It wasn’t an easy choice but it’s what she wanted. It’s why I moved away.” Sophie replied.“Did you miss her?” Max asked.“Yes, I missed her dearly. But at least I still have you. Right?” Sophie replied.“Of course, Soph. Of course. Always.” He replied.Max woke up early the following morning. He found himself lying in his bed, looking straight up at the ceiling. A small smile crept onto his lips. The previous night hadn’t exactly gone how he wanted it to, but he supposed it could’ve gone worse. At least he finally knew that Sophie felt the same way about him that he felt about her. Still, he wished things between the two of them could’ve been d

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to. Really, I don’t think I could if I tried.” He apologised.Sophie rolled her eyes before turning around and beginning to walk back towards the dining room. Max followed after her, still chuckling. He followed behind her slowly, trying his hardest to stifle his laughter. He glanced over at the table, seeing the empty seat. He smirked a little to himself. Guess they hadn’t finished eating yet, after all.The moment Max walked out into the living room, he saw his father sat on the couch in his usual spot, reading the newspaper. He was wearing his glasses once more today, which gave Max some comfort. There weren’t too many days when he got to actually see his father without those damn glasses. Not many people would really notice it at first glance, but once you actually get to get a good look at him and take him in properly, you realize just how handsome he actually is. He’s almost always dressed nicely in suits, but whenever he’s home and has something to we

She continued listening for a little bit, until she realized that the singing was getting louder. The song was now accompanied by some instrumental music. Was someone actually singing along to the song? Who could be singing it? She never knew anyone else who sang. Was it Max? No, it was too familiar. The only person who sung this song was Max. How did she know that? She couldn’t be hearing things. That was impossible. She knew him too well to believe that.Her mind was racing and her chest was tightening. If she was hearing things, who was singing? She could recognize the voice, yet she couldn’t place where it was coming from. It seemed to be getting louder, but it was also fading away. Suddenly, she felt an arm wrap around her waist. She spun around and looked up. She found that the arms were wrapped around her from behind, while she was facing forward. She gasped and jumped back, tripping over her feet and hitting the ground with a thud.Max chuckled softly.“You scared me!” Sop

“Are you ready to leave?” He asked, reaching over to pick up their empty dishes. She nodded and grabbed her purse. They quickly made their way downstairs and got into the car.As they drove back home she found herself looking at him from the corner of her eye. She watched as his facial features softened and softened in the sunlight that illuminated the interior of the car. There was a peaceful look in his face, almost like he hadn’t slept for days. He glanced at her briefly after a while and she realised that he was watching her. She quickly averted her gaze, trying to appear busy with whatever she was doing. However, she was unable to stop thinking about how attractive and beautiful he looked with his hair ruffled from sleep. How he looked like an angel, like everything good that had ever existed, embodied itself in one man, and she would have to hold herself together if she wanted to get through this day.Sophie woke up early the next morning, hoping that it would be another pl

But eventually it was time to end the conversation and it became obvious that neither of them really wanted to be alone anymore. So, they decided to take advantage of the situation to spend the remainder of the afternoon together, doing things that they used to do whenever they went on these trips together. They walked aimlessly, trying to find some interesting sight that they could admire, but they ended up simply standing under the trees, watching the scenery pass by. They didn’t talk. All they did was stare at the view before them, taking in the beauty that surrounded them.It wasn’t until they realized that it was evening that they headed back home, carrying their backpacks. It was already dark when they got there.The next day, Saturday, they woke up early and took a stroll in the nearby park. They decided to take another trip to the mall. As soon as they entered the store, Sophie looked around, checking out everything they had left in stock.“How about something new? A new p
