The next evening, Alexander waited nervously outside Sophia's office building. He knew she would be finishing work soon, and he didn't want to disturb her in the office. He paced back and forth, his mind racing with thoughts of how to present his invitation. He had come to invite her to his mother's birthday party.After clearing up some of their misunderstandings the previous day, she accepted his apology, but that didn't guarantee she would accept his invitation. He hoped fervently that he could convince her.Alexander couldn't help but wonder if she would find it strange that the party would be held in the house where she used to live. He didn't want to be a source of discomfort for her. He didn't want his invitation to turn into another argument.As the minutes ticked by, he kept his eyes on the entrance, waiting for her to emerge. When he finally spotted her leaving the building, he couldn't help but admire her beauty. Her hair framed her face perfectly, accentuating her elegance

Michael had arrived at the location for his date with Sophia and immediately spotted her in the midst of the bustling crowd. He couldn't help but raise his hands in astonishment before making his way toward her.Sophia couldn't contain her laughter as she observed Michael's reaction. He closed the distance between them with a warm smile, and she returned it in kind."If I'm being honest, I never would have guessed that our date would be at a country fair festival," he remarked, wrapping her in a friendly hug.Sophia reciprocated the hug. "What can I tell you? I'm full of surprises," she replied with a playful glint in her eye.Together, they made their way toward the entrance of the festival, the lively sounds of people and the laughter of children providing a cheerful backdrop to their conversation."So, how did you decide on this place?" Michael inquired."I didn't grow up with a silver spoon in my mouth, and as soon as I saw the ad for the fair, I couldn't resist," Sophia explained

Alexander looked into Sophia's eyes, his gaze filled with sincerity and vulnerability. He knew that what he was confessing was unconventional and unexpected, but he couldn't keep his feelings hidden any longer. With a deep breath, he reached out and gently took her hand, hoping to convey the depth of his emotions."That's right, I have feelings for you, Sophia," Alexander began, his voice steady but filled with emotion. "And I've been struggling for a long time to show you that I'm not who you think I am. I care about you, and it's often hard for me to convey my thoughts exactly, and I think we often fight because we don't understand each other."Sophia's eyes widened in shock, and she instinctively pulled her hand away from Alexander's, shaking her head in disbelief."This is crazy, Alexander," she said. "We're divorced. Do you realize how crazy this is?"Alexander leaned in closer, his voice soft but resolute. "Sophia, our marriage was a joke. We haven't even met each other for 3 ye

Sophia's laughter echoed through the upscale boutique as Evelyn's excitement reached a crescendo. Evelyn's enthusiasm was infectious, and Sophia couldn't help but share in the moment. She twirled in front of the mirror, admiring the stunning red dress that clung to her curves in all the right places."You have to buy this dress! Evelyn squealed, her voice not matching the hushed ambiance of the boutique.Sophia laughed and motioned for her to be quieter. She took another look in the mirror and nodded her approval. She had fallen in love with the dress at first sight.It was simple, yet its cut was such that it perfectly outlined her body. A blood-red long dress with a daring slit running down to her thigh. There were no straps, and the top resembled a corset, expertly tailored to fit her bust like a glove.Evelyn continued her enthusiastic appraisal, her words now in a slightly lower, more appropriate tone. "If you don't buy this dress, I will kill you. You look absolutely stunning an

Sophia remained silent in the car on the way to the concert, staring out the window to avoid paying too much attention to Alexander."Why do you avoid me? You know I'm only driving you to the concert, not kidnapping you," he joked, trying to break the ice."I know," Sophia replied coldly, without looking at him.Ever since the evening of the carnival, especially after Alexander's confession, Sophia had been avoiding any unnecessary contact with him. She was determined not to encourage his lingering feelings. Their divorce was final, and she believed it was for the best."I'm glad you'll be there," Alexander continued, attempting to maintain a conversation."I haven't heard the maestro play in a long time," was Sophia's simple response.Realizing that engaging in a conversation with Sophia was a challenge, Alexander decided to turn on the car's radio. They continued the rest of the drive in silence.Upon arriving at the birthday venue, Alexander noticed Sophia's slight frown. He parked
