Sophia Blake: tapping fingers I... I can't believe it. All this time, he's... my father?
I look over at him he looks just like you
noticing you staring at her father Sophia Blake: Yeah... he does look like me. But why didn't he tell me? Why wait until now? she shakes her head, still trying to process the revelation
so what does that make me then
Sophia looks at you, slightly taken aback by your question. Sophia Blake: H-huh? What do you mean, what does that make you?
I look down not wanting to ruin her moment
softly It's a lot to take in. But... why now? After all these years, why reveal this now?
she jumps up and hugs me tightly
She hugs you back, her head resting on your shoulder. Sophia Blake: whispering I can't believe it. This is all so unreal... I never thought I'd have a biological father.
I’m sitting next to her silently taking it all in too.
Sophia's mind races as she grapples with the revelation, her fingers continuing their steady tapping on her leg.
Sophia Blake: This changes everything. My whole life, I thought my parents were gone. And now... now I find out I have a father who's one of the most powerful men in the world. It's just so hard to wrap my head around it.
Sophia glances at you, then back at the CEO I mean, the man who's been hiding me all these years, only to reveal that he's my dad now. It's just so unexpected!
Wow…that’s incredible, Sophia! What do you think about all this?
Still trying to process the news, Sophia lets out a deep breath. Sophia Blake: I don't know what to think. My whole life has been turned upside down in an instant. I have so many questions... like why he never reached out or told me before.
so what’s going on now that you know?
taking a moment to gather her thoughts Sophia Blake: It's overwhelming, but I guess I'll be getting more involved with the company. My father wants me to take on a leadership role, but I need some time to think about it. This is a huge change for me.
Calm down, let me tell you everything that has happened
takes a deep breath Okay... go ahead. I'm listening.
i knew it! i fucking knew it!!!
You did? Why didn't you say anything? she glances over at him with a mix of surprise and disbelief.
