The Returning Ex

Sophia racked her brains, but she still could not understand what happened last night, so she ended her call with the clueless Logan. Then, she had a simple breakfast and went out to water her flowers, which was when she instantly noticed the shattered phone in her garden.

She followed suit and lowered her volume as well. “Did you send me home last night?”

John went silent on the other side and she could vaguely hear someone else talking in the background. He must be in a meeting. Thus, she closed her eyes and said to him, “Alright. I’ll talk to you when you’re free.”
