Sofia POV

Mandy and I were sitting together while Marcus was on the other couch.

“My parents? They were in space,” I said, trying to hide my loneliness by smiling. Her brow furrowed out of curiosity. Don't tell me she didn't get it.

“What do you mean? Are they astronauts? That’s great. I also dreamed of being one, but then I changed my mind because it's kinda scary," She said, and I just laughed because of what she said.

We were both busy that Saturday, so we both decided to cancel it. She told me that we could still reschedule it when we were both free.“Are you free tonight?” Is she planning to go there tonight? I bit my lower lips. I don’t know if Marcus would let me go there now. But of course, I will still go.

Sofia’s best friend.” She extended her hand to him, and then Marcus’ expression changed.“Marcus, I’m his husband,” He answered grumpily. Is he angry because I went here without him? Well, he came home late.I was staring at him while he removed his coat. Did he go there after he finished his work? His hair was also messy, and he looked tired.“I hate what you are wearing right now, Sofia,” I feel goosebumps as he whispers it to my ears while making me wear his coat. What is he doing? What I am wearing isn’t that revealing at all. My brow furrowed, “Huh?”Maria cleared her throat, trying to get our attention.“I’m sorry for interrupting both of you.

I did all I could to make him believe that I loved her because I really loved her,” he said, his voice cracking. He was hurt as well as I was.It hurts hearing him say how he loved Sofia while I am here admiring him from afar. It hurts seeing him like this. I wanted to hold his hand and hug him tight, but I didn't have the strength to do it.I admit that every time I hear him say that he loves Sofia, I get jealous, but I don't have the right. I was jealous, and I wanted to steal him from her, but I knew I couldn't do it.
