The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

The car didn’t stop at the hotel they were staying in. Instead, Sophia asked the driver to stop when they were a distance away from it, much to John and Zack’s surprise.

After the car had stopped, Sophia smiled at them before going out of the car. “I’ll be leaving now. You guys go ahead without me.”

John looked back and said nothing. After Sophia had closed the door, he told the driver to start driving. Zack looked at John from the rear-view mirror to see that he was scrolling through his phone. Then, Zack looked at Sophia from the side mirror.

She looked like a naive lady with her getup, and slowly, she faded from their sights. “Is Sophia worried someone might bump into us and take it the wrong way if we go back together?”

John said nothing, so Zack continued, “I mean, she has a suitor staying in this hotel too, so it’s not great if he sees us together. I can understand why.”

John slowly looked up at him. “What are you trying to say?”

“Nothing.” Zack chuckled. “Just saying.”
