“Lyon, sit!” She ordered and the puppy sat down while looking up at her with the most adorable eyes. Sofia couldn’t help but smile and gave him a treat.
“Good boy, such a good boy, Lyon!” She petted him and he barked in reply.
Sofia had been spending an entire day training the new puppy.
After a day of being with her, he had gotten himself comfortable with her presence and started accepting her as his new owner. They really bonded with each other,
Having the puppy around definitely helped her to take her mind off things a little bit and eased her yearning for Dion a little bit.
Ever since he left, she had been thinking of him so much especially right before she sleep.
He had accompanied her for the past week and in that short amount of time, she was already used to sleeping with him.

The man was polite, well mannered and an overall pleasant person to be around with.One thing about Sofia, she had never been attracted to bad boys since she was young so she always preferred the calm, slightly nerdy guys.He used to be more nerdy than sporty so he would spend his time at the library, either studying or working on some side research he was doing.Naturally, Sofia was drawn to him and since they were in the same class almost all the ti

At the same he realized he might be asking for too much and quickly apologized.“I’m sorry, I had no idea you are married already. I understand. But I will give you my number anyway. If you ever need any help with anything. I’m willing to do it for you.”He wrote down his number on a piece of paper and slip it in her bag.“I wish you a pleasant evening, mademoiselle.” With that, he left.

Why?”“I’m going to have dinner with my friends tonight and I am thinking of taking you with me.” Sofia was a little confused because they were in Paris.If anything, it should be her introducing him to her friends.
