The Returning Ex

Stunned, it suddenly struck Sophia that something was amiss. The picture where she was watching TV didn’t look like it was taken from outside the house. Judging from the angle of the picture, it was taken from the entrance to the living room.

However, there was no way she wouldn’t have noticed it if she was on the couch and someone was taking a picture of her from the living room entrance. The more she stared at the picture, the more terrified it made her feel.

After staring at it for a long while to no avail, she just couldn’t figure out exactly when the picture was taken. Clutching her cell phone, she sent another text asking for the identity of the sender.

This time, the sender stopped replying, and Sophia didn’t ask again, either. She was usually calm, and all the more she had to remain calm now that the other person wanted to cause her panic. Lying in bed again with her cell phone in hand, she couldn’t go back to sleep no matter how she tried.

Closing her eyes, she sighed. Forget it, I’ll just stop thinking about it if I can’t figure it out. She was never a person who made things difficult for herself, and thus, she continued to stay in bed in a half-asleep state.
