Sophia’s POV I gained over 200k followers overnight. And lost a few. It’s all thanks to that post of Alexander and me. My DM’s are full, my comments are overflowing, and my mom has, surprisingly, been getting calls all day from people who want an interview with me about the wedding. It’s so overwhelming. I’ve since turned off my phone and hidden it somewhere, but that’s not even the main reason I’ve rid myself of my phone. Here’s why: Alexander sent the recording at exactly 00:00, and it’s gonna disappear in 24 hours. I’ve been dreading it. I haven’t listened because I know it’s going to do something to me—something I can’t control. And for the first time, I turned off my read receipt, just so he doesn’t know I’ve seen it. But I can only hide for so long. It’s 05:00 P.M. already.
