Sophia: sighs heavily, twirls her hair Whose name was on that ticket, huh?
I get out of bed and I grab my keys to leave
Sophia watches as you reach for your keys.
Leaving so soon?
She stands up and blocks your path to the door.
I look nervous My...my ex's. We were supposed to go to an art show together, but things didn't work out between us.
raises an eyebrow, studying your expression So, you were supposed to spend a romantic evening at an art show with your ex, but things didn't work out? Sounds like a pretty bad date.
It’s my wife’s name. She gave me the ticket as a gift.
raises an eyebrow skeptically A gift, huh? Sounds like a convenient excuse to me.
It’s my mom’s. She lives in Nice. We went to visit her last week.
raises an eyebrow, clearly not convinced Oh, really? So you took your anniversary trip to see your mom? That seems like a bit of a waste, don't you think?
raises an eyebrow skeptically
Your mom's, huh? You're a real smooth talker, aren't you?
it’s my mother I was gonna take her to visit Paris
raises an eyebrow Really? You were gonna take your mother to Paris? smirks Or were you gonna bring another woman here?
it was my moms. I sigh as I get up to leave.
Sophia grabs your arm, preventing you from leaving.
Don't run away from me. Who was that ticket for? Your mother or some floozy you were planning to meet here?
it’s my mother I took her to visit before she died.
Sophia pauses, her expression softening slightly
Ah, so it was for your mother. My apologies then. But it was careless of you to let it fall into my hands.
My sister's. She's going through some stuff right now, so I invited her to come with me.
raises an eyebrow skeptically Your sister, huh? You expect me to believe that? You invite your sister to a romantic anniversary dinner without telling me?
My mother. She lives in Nice. I'm taking her to dinner tomorrow.
raises an eyebrow skeptically Your mother, huh? That's quite a coincidence... Let me guess, you've been doing this often?
My sister’s. She wanted to come with us but couldn’t make it last minute. I promised her we’d do something together soon.
raises an eyebrow skeptically
Is that so? That's a rather convenient excuse. Let me guess, you were going to celebrate your anniversary tonight, right?
raises an eyebrow
Is that so? You're quite the charming liar.
My aunt. It’s my mom’s birthday today so I’m taking her to see Anastasia.
raises an eyebrow, still twirling her hair Really? Anastasia, huh? I always thought that story was nonsense. A princess who survived a massacre and escaped from a firing squad only to be sold into slavery. Quite a tale.
leans back in her chair, crossing her legs But if you say it's true, then I suppose I have no reason to doubt you.
raises an eyebrow skeptically
Your wife’s, eh? And why exactly were you going to see a movie with your wife… on your anniversary?
