Sophie was pacing anxiously in her room, her worry palpable. Without thinking, she blurted out, "Weren't you all about Estelle? How did you switch gears so fast and start fancying someone else?"
Jason looked at her with a mocking grin, "You were all about Robin before, so why the sudden change of heart towards me?"
Sophie's face turned pale, and she stumbled back a step, "When did I ever like you?"
Jason cornered her against the wall, his gaze intense, "Are you saying you don't like me?"
Sophie, panicking, shook her head, "I don't like you!"
"You're lying!"
"I—I…"
Sophie woke up with a start, her breathing heavy in the darkness. It took her a moment to realize it had been just a nightmare.
With a shaken expression, she slapped her forehead in the dark, berating herself. How could she have dreamt something like that?
The scare had driven away her sleepiness. She got up and walked to the balcony, her eyes adjusting to the thick of the night. From there, she could see Jason's room.
To her surprise, his room light was still on.
He's still awake?
Sophie arched an eyebrow, glanced at the clock—it was already 2 a.m.
She watched the light shining in the night for a moment, then took a deep breath and went back to try and catch some more sleep.
...
The next day, when Jason came to call her, Sophie had just woken up. She slipped on her slippers and walked out to the balcony, her voice groggy, "Give me ten minutes!"
Jason checked his watch, "Alright, ten minutes."
Sophie quickly washed up, got dressed, and was downstairs in less than ten minutes.
She jogged over to him, and Jason eyed her, "Didn't sleep well?"
