When the driver stopped the car in front of their house, Sophia was the first to hop off. When sheclosed the car door on her side, John finally opened his eyes slowly.
His eyes were bloodshot, but he was awake and energized. It seemed that he had not been asleepduring the journey back home.
Sophia ran upstairs and quickly changed her clothes. When she was washing her face in the bathroom,John came over for her.
He stood at the door and leaned against the doorframe, talking to her at a higher volume. “What shouldwe buy for Uncle Owen’s birthday gift?”
He’s at it again. She stopped and stared at her reflection in the mirror, rolling her eyes before she couldstop herself.
Last time, when she had accompanied Dylan to pick a birthday gift, her hair almost fell out from thehuge fuss. Now, she had to go through the same cycle with John. God, she was adamantly against it.
He sensed her silence and added, “I can’t think of a suitable gift. I thought that women might havemore ideas, so I wanted you to help me think of something.”
Sophia smacked her lips and absentmindedly suggested, “Just get another pair of cufflinks. UncleOwen changes them all the time. It would be nice for him to switch between the cufflinks you and Dylangave him.”
