The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Sophia's expression stiffened as Zachary started asking about Corinne. "She... Umm... She was part of your former group of friends as well. That man, Jason, is dating her! It shouldn't be surprising that she looks familiar!" she said, observing his expression.

For the moment, at least, she believed he had not remembered anything yet. "Well, we're out to enjoy ourselves today, so let's not dwell on that anymore. Have some fruit, Zachary!

Zachary took the fruit that Sophia handed him and placed it on the small table inside the car. Rather than eating some, he stabbed a fork into an apple slice and handed it to Benjamin. "Eat some fruit." Benjamin was in a daze. He was on cloud nine when he saw Corinne earlier, and all he could think about was his beloved mother. It took Zachary's voice to snap him back to his senses. He took the fork from Zachary and ate the apple slice.
