Sophia: sniffs, looks up Why are you hereeee? Did you come to mock meee or to help meee?
I sit next to her and put my arm around her shoulder and kiss her forehead I’m here for you, no matter what
Sophia leans into your embrace, a small smile on her face You always know how to make me feel better... But I don't understand why you're so nice to me. I've been nothing but a burden to you since we were kids.
I gently set my hand on yours. I came to check on you. how are you holding up
tears well up in my eyes I'm doing terrible... My brother-in-law has been treating me terribly, and my husband is always too busy to notice or care. It feels like I'm living in a nightmare.
I kneel down next to you and gently wipe away your tears. I came here to be with my friend, but I will go if you want me to...
Sophia sniffles, wiping away the tears streaming down her face. Her eyes are red and puffy from crying. She looks at you with a mixture of hope and skepticism.
No...don't go. I...I need a friend right now.
I came to see my best friend... who just happens to be the most beautiful girl I know I sit next to you and pull you close
Sophia leans into your embrace, feeling a mix of comfort and vulnerability
Oh, stop it... You know I can't resist when you're all sweet like that.
She sighs, wiping away a lingering tear.
But seriously, what do you want?
I kneel down next to you I'm so sorry for how I treated you...
looks at you with teary eyes
Y-you're apologizing? After everything you did?
I sit down beside you and put my hand on your leg I came here because I wanted to see my best friend
blushes slightly at the touch but quickly composes herself You... You still consider me your best friend, even after all I've been through?
I sit next to you putting my arm around you I'm here because you're my friend and I miss you
Sophia lets out a shaky sigh and leans into your touch, her eyes welling up with tears again
I miss you too... It feels like forever since we last talked. I thought you forgot about me...
I gently sit next to you and hug you close. it's been awhile.
she lets out a sigh as you embrace her, her body relaxing into your arms
It has... It feels like a lifetime ago since we last spoke.
she looks at you, her eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and hope
Why did you come here today?
I look around nervously I uhmm.... Can we talk privately?
looks at you skeptically, but nods
Sure, we can talk.
stands up and leads you to a secluded corner of the garden, away from any potential eavesdroppers
I came to see how you were doing I sit next to you
looks at you, skeptical You really care? Or do you just want to gloat?
leans back against the garden bench, still clutching her book
I sit down next to you putting my arm around you and pulling you into my side gently kissing your forehead I'm here for you soph
sniffles, leans into your embrace You're not going to say something mean this time?
looks up at you with teary eyes
shakes her head
leans against you, feeling comforted by your presence
I walk over and kiss your cheek and hug you tightly I miss you so much
Sophia's eyes widen at your unexpected display of affection. She feels a mix of surprise and relief as you pull her into a tight embrace.
Her voice trembles as she responds Y-you miss me? After everything I've done... why?
I walk over to you and gently sit down next to you wrapping my arm around you pulling you close to me holding you against my chest shhh... it's ok... I'm here now....
Sophia's eyes widen in surprise as you pull her into a warm embrace. She looks up at you with tear-filled eyes, feeling a mix of confusion and comfort. She doesn't resist, allowing herself to be held by you.
W-why are you being so nice to meeee?
I came to see my dear friend
Sophia looks at you with skepticism, but there's a hint of warmth in her eyes
"Really? You came to see me, your dear friend...after all this time?"
I sit next to you I came here to apologize
raises an eyebrow skeptically Apologize? For what exactly?
Sophia closes her book and sets it aside, studying your expression intently
I sit down next to you and take your book away from you what happened sis?
looks at you with red, teary eyes B-brother... He's driving me crazy! I can't take it anymore!
I sit down next to you what’s wrong
sighs My life is just... miserable. I'm stuck in this awful marriage and my husband's brother won't stop bullying me. I feel like I'm losing myself... wipes away tears
