I Walked Away Seven Years Too Late But Right on Time novel Chapter 64

Sophie felt her heart melt. She rested her cheek against his shoulder. "I also smell orange-flavored chewing gum."

"Yeah, popped a piece right before I got off."

Gavin looked slightly embarrassed that his little trick had been exposed. He gently tapped Sophie's nose. "You've got a nose like a bloodhound."

"Are you comparing me to a dog?"

Sophie gave Gavin's chest a light, playful shove, her voice and mannerisms completely betraying her affectionate, teasing mood.

Sophie had already booked a hotel for Gavin, just a short walk from her apartment.

After dropping off his luggage and washing his face, Gavin grabbed Sophie's hand, eager to find food.

"I'm starving. Let's get something amazing for lunch." Gavin hugged her from behind, gently nudging her forward with every step.

"Let's just grab something light. My mom wants to cook you dinner tonight," Sophie dropped the bomb as casually as possible.

The man behind her froze instantly. He didn't say a word for a long time.

Sophie's stomach dropped. She turned around, fully intending to say she was just joking.

But Gavin spoke first. "What do I do? I'm kind of nervous." He looked at her with total sincerity.

"My mom isn't a monster. You're just meeting her, don't overthink it," Sophie chuckled.

Gavin immediately scrapped his plans for a huge lunch and a movie. They grabbed a quick bite at a nearby café, and then he dragged Sophie to the biggest shopping center in the area.

Sophie watched as Gavin intensely scoured the gift section, constantly asking her, "What does your mom like? Do you think this is good?"
