Ah, that was complicated.
“And the first one is my boyfriend.”
Shit. That was complicated.
“When did this happen?”
“Last night.”
Goodness…
I reached the end of the stairs.
“But the thing is, I enjoyed the other one’s wood more.”
These are the issues.
“Now, that would definitely put your relationship at risk.”
She’d understand what risk was. She worked in an accounting firm as an accountant.
“I know, but…”
I finally reached the playroom. Sophie was still in the same spot. After taking my seat, I sighed.
“I don't think there are buts here except you're willing to put your present relationship at risk. And I also want you to consider how the twin feels. Does he think it's a one-night thing? Or does he have other plans?”
“Right.” Her low voice depicted her sadness.
“El que la hace, la paga, Emma. (He who does it, pays for it).” I sighed. Then briefly glanced at Sophie. I instantly froze at what I saw.
A smile. Sophie had a smile on her face. It wasn't huge, nor was it small. It was just the right size for blood to rush through my veins.
What?
“What language is that?” Emma asked.
I remained still, staring at Sophie. What made her smile? Something I said?
“El que la hace, la paga, Emma,” I repeated my words. Her smile widened.
I gasped. Language. She was thrilled by my language.
“Yes, I heard you the first time, Evie. I asked…”
“I'll call you back Emma.”
Once I dropped the call, her smile dropped. And like nothing happened, she returned her attention to the paper. I quickly moved to her.
“Sophie,” I started when I crouched beside her. But something caught my attention. It was a drawing. Sophie had drawn on her sheet. But this time, it wasn't just shapes. It was a combination of curves, circles, and lines.
It was a bird. And right in front of its beak were tiny circles between lines that sprouted upward. Suddenly, it seemed very familiar. The circles were food. The picture was of a bird eating remains from grass.
I gasped when I started to see it. It looked exactly like the one she’d been staring at on the day we went to the park.
