The Returning Ex

Zack had rented a car. Bringing John and Sophia with him, he headed to the Edge of the World.

It was a road Sophia was familiar with.

Throughout the entire journey, neither she nor John said a word. She was simply not fully awake yet while he was innately a man of little words. Although Zack tried to mediate the tension between them, he found his efforts to be in vain. So, he gave up.

As they had left the hotel relatively late, a lot of people were already at the scenic location by the time they arrived. Upon arriving, Zack went to buy their entry tickets. He was rather well-prepared, handing John and Sophia each a cap.

It was getting hot as the sun slowly began to blaze brightly above their heads.

While Sophia and John stood where they were and waited for Zack, they remained quiet. Frankly speaking, most of the time they spent together in the past had been spent in silence too. Therefore, the silence didn’t feel awkward.

Most of the visitors visiting this tourist spot were couples. Hence, everybody seemed to be walking about with their arm around their partner, chatting and laughing away.

As Sophia watched the couples passing by, her expression unknowingly became envious. Perhaps, it was because the contrast between those couples and her situation was like night and day.
