Sophia turned to Jefrey. “I think this is where we part ways, Sir Alfredo. Thank you for escorting me,” she said with a friendly smile.

"Oh Dear, there’s no need to be embarrassed. What you did yesterday is something normal for couples to do. Why feel ashamed? You’re married, aren’t you? Believe me, I was young once, and I’ve been in love just like you two."Sophia choked on the tomato she had just bitten into. "I-in love?!" she exclaimed in a muffled voice.

Long, slender fingers with painted red nails tapped the screen of the smartphone, which lit up to reveal a message that made its owner frown.[He’s fine.]It was a short reply that she didn’t expect at all. Millie kept tapping the screen, hoping the nails on her perfect hands would crack the screen. She couldn’t fathom the sender."How can you be so indifferent?" she muttered in disbelief, her irritation apparent.

Dana swung the frying spoon in front of Sophia’s face, snapping her out of her thoughts."Your drool is about to drip," Dana whispered teasingly.Sophia instinctively wiped her mouth, only to realize Dana was joking. The middle-aged woman chuckled in amusement."Sophie? Did you cook something?" Albert’s voice broke the silence, his tone laced with surprise.Sophia shook her head, denying it.

Sophia asked, placing the tea cup in front of him.Albert smiled and muttered a thank you. "I’m fine," he replied.

Albert almost choked on his tea at the woman’s words. He placed the cup back on the table and fixed Sophia with a stern look. The expression on his face had turned serious."I already told you earlier that I wanted to discuss something," Albert said firmly.Sophia tensed up. Is this about him getting drunk last night?

"I also have something I want to say to you," she said.One of Albert’s thick eyebrows arched. "What is it?""You first," Sophia replied quickly."No, you go first," Albert said, his gaze demanding.

The sky outside was bright. The rain had stopped, leaving droplets of water clinging to the plants and rooftops, glistening in the sunlight like scattered diamonds. The ground was still damp, but the sun's rays persisted, breaking through the gray clouds and forming a rainbow arching between them.Sophia could only admire the scene from behind the fogged-up window, her breath creating condensation on the glass. Her hand felt cold as she pressed it against the surface, as if trying to reach for the world beyond.It must be wonderful to take a stroll outside after the rain, she thought. The crisp, cool air would welcome her immediately. But even indoors, the petrichor still lingered, filling the space. She inhaled deeply, savoring the scent.“Do you want to do it outside?” came a voice from behind her.

His attention was entirely captivated by the beautiful figure on his canvas, he hadn’t been thinking about anything else. In fact, it took him a moment to recall Sophia’s earlier question.Then Albert replied, “It’s not a matter of ‘who’, but rather ‘what’.”“What do you mean?” Sophia asked, confused.“I use nature as a model for my landscape paintings.
