“Sophia?”
“Go away.”
“Soph Soph?”
“It’s not fair. It’s not fair.” She sobs.
“What do you want me to do? Apologize? You think it was easy for me to see you with another man?”
“He’s not another man. I’m marrying him.”
“Alex is my friend, I know him more than you do. He’s weird… acts all suspicious and scary sometimes. I don’t trust him with you.”
“So, you want me to end things with him and be alone…? So… so you can laugh at me? Tell me it’s because I’m desperate and childish?”
“You know that’s not what I mean.”
“Go back to Kylie and leave me alone.”
“Do you really want me to leave? Do you?”
She’s quiet. Again.
My grip on the paper bag tightens.
I look over my shoulder to see Mario at the door and turn around without a sound. I slip out of the room.
“Buenos días, Mr. Thorne.”
