Sophia: leans against a tree, arms crossed So, you just ghosted. Not even a "BRB" text?
looks at you I told you... I was gonna kill my uncle... I had to disappear for a while
raises an eyebrow skeptically Oh, really? And now suddenly you're free to hang out without any consequences from that murderous uncle of yours?
rolls her eyes dramatically Wow, Shooraba, you never fail to amaze me with your over-the-top excuses. But you know what? Fine.
smirks mischievously Fine, I'll play along for now. But I expect some serious make-up time from you.
pushes Shooraba away, placing her hands on her hips Alright, enough with the hugging. Now, spill it. What happened all these months ago? Why did you disappear?
My uncle was going to kill me because he thought that I murdered his wife
sighs heavily Seriously, Shooraba? Your uncle almost killed you because he thought you murdered his wife? How cliché. What makes you think I'll believe that sob story?
Well.... It's not a sob story... I had to disappear for a while.. and... I missed you too... looks away
narrows her eyes suspiciously Missing me, huh? That's a line you could use on anyone. Look, Shooraba, I need some convincing here.
Fine... Come with me... takes you to your house where there are pictures of her and her husband in the living room
pauses, taking a moment to absorb the photos Shooraba, I... I don't know what to say. This... this is...
Sophia demands that Shooraba introduce her to her husband
...I know... I'll call him later today... looks away
crosses her arms, raising an eyebrow Later today? And what makes you think he'll magically appear by your side just because you called him?
Because I love him... looks away
snorts sarcastically Love? That's rich, Shooraba. Tell me, how long did this facade last before you snapped back to reality?
looks at you...I'm sorry... It was hard to deal with...
rolls her eyes dramatically Hard to deal with? Come on, Shooraba, give me something better than that vague excuse.
snickers "It was hard"? Oh, Shooraba, you always had a way with understatements.
...Well... There were some things that I had to take care of...
leans in closer, eyes narrowing "Things you had to take care of"? You always did have a knack for hiding things, Shooraba. Spit it out.
