Sophia’s POV
The mirror had done its job.
There was nothing left to fix.
Only… to face it.
I took one last breath before stepping out of my room.
The house felt quieter now.
Not silent.
Just… aware.
Like everyone knew this wasn’t just another day.
My heels clicked softly against the floor as I walked toward the living room.
And just as I reached the door…
My phone rang.
Colton.
My heart skipped.
Then raced.
I picked up almost immediately.
“Hi…”
“Hey,” his voice came through, low and steady, like he was trying to pour calm through the phone. “The car is already outside.”
I paused.
Glancing toward the window instinctively.
“You sent a car?” I asked.
A small exhale from his end.
“Yeah.”
I frowned slightly.
“I told you I could come on my own.”
“I know,” he said gently.
