Sophia's cheeks flushed crimson before she clenched her teeth and retorted, "Just for a dish, you're thinking of... that? Dream on!"
Jason raised an eyebrow coolly, "Thinking of what?"
Sophia glared at him, exasperated, "Don't play dumb with me!"
Jason, feigning innocence, replied, "I just didn't feel like driving after a full meal, thought you could stay the night. But if you're suggesting something else, I'm not opposed!"
Her face turned a deeper shade of red, "I'll just take a cab home, okay?"
"I wouldn't feel right not making sure you're safe. What, am I going to drive behind the cab? That makes no sense!" Jason said with a light chuckle.
Sophia, usually quick-witted, found herself at a loss for words and huffed, "Mr. Gilder, you've changed!"
Jason leaned in, his eyes intense, "I haven't changed. It's you who's reading too much into things."
Their eyes locked, and Sophia felt a shiver run down her spine, suddenly feeling nervous for no apparent reason.
Jason flicked her forehead like they were kids again and laughed softly, "I'm just kidding. Let's eat."
Sophia's forehead turned a bit red, and she quickly shifted the conversation away from the sensitive topic. She took a bite of the lasagna, her eyes lighting up, "This is so good!"
Jason smiled, all the effort of cooking for two hours was worth it just for those three words.
After dinner, they cleaned up the kitchen together, and Jason said, "I need to hop into the study for a meeting. You can either read a book there or watch some TV in the living room."
Sophia pointed towards the living room, "I'll just watch TV. Don't want to distract you."
Jason nodded, knowing he wouldn't be able to concentrate with her in the study.
