Alexander took a few steps towards Sophia and shook his head in denial. "I'm not leaving until we get this straight," he stated. "I love you, Sophia, and I do not budge at the first difficulty." Sophia's jaw tightened as she met his gaze, her resolve unyielding. "You may not leave, but I refused to talk to you. I needed peace right then," she declared, her voice laced with frustration. With a heavy sigh, Sophia headed for the kitchen, putting some distance between them. She could feel Alexander's eyes on her, but she refused to look back.

Sophia's nerves were frayed all day, her mind consumed by thoughts of her tumultuous relationship with Alexander.

In the morning, Sophia felt a strong reluctance to leave the comfort of their bed. She was nestled against Alexander, finding solace in his embrace, unwilling to part from him. As her phone emitted a new message notification, Sophia reached for it with a begrudging scowl, not wanting to disturb their moment of intimacy. "Stay here," Alexander murmured, pulling her back into his arms. "Whatever it is can wait." "What if they've kidnapped someone again?" Sophia joked, a playful smirk gracing her lips. "I don't like how this is becoming a routine for us," Alexander grumbled sleepily. Sophia chuckled as she extricated herself from his embrace and glanced at her phone. Benjamin's message flashed on the screen. "I'm thinking of visiting our childhood homes. Do you want to come with me?" the message read. Sophia read it aloud, noting Alexander's furrowed brow. "No," he responded curtly. "Why not?" Sophia countered, turning to face him. "I'm not letting you go. We're spending the re

"I'll just write to Alexander that everything is fine and we've arrived," she announced, her fingers hovering over the screen. But before she could proceed, Benjamin swiftly snatched the phone from her hand, eliciting a frown from Sophia. "You can write to him as soon as we enter. Come on, Sophia, you haven't been here for years, let's get settled in first," Benjamin suggested, his tone persuasive. Sophia chuckled at Benjamin's eagerness. "God, Benjamin, you've really missed this place," she remarked, a fond smile playing on her lips. "Of course, my best years were here," he replied nostalgically, his arm draped casually around her shoulders as they approached the entrance. As Benjamin

As they savored the sweet treats, Sophia couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia wash over her, mingled with a hint of unease. After they had eaten their ice cream, Sophia finally spoke up, her voice tinged with a sense of urgency, "Can we go back to the house now?

Sophia began rummaging through her bag, her brow furrowing in concern as she failed to locate her phone amidst the jumble of items. "Is something wrong?" Benjamin inquired, his gaze full of concern as he watched her search. "I don't know where my phone is," Sophia admitted. "You must have left it in the

Do you want me to stay?"Sophia furrowed her brow in surprise at his offer. "Stay?" she echoed, her confusion evident. "Like back in the day when we used to have slumber parties?"A nostalgic smile tugged at Benjamin's lips as he nodded. "Exactly like that."Sophia chuckled softly, the tension of the day momentarily forgotten. "Benjamin, back then I was afraid of the monster under the bed," she teased. "You don't need to stay.""I'm just worried," Benjamin began, his tone earnest. "I
