Sophie hesitated as she took the cup of caramel latte from Odie. Just one sip, and she felt like her blood sugar was skyrocketing.
“Yikes!” she exclaimed, grimacing at Odie. “How can you drink something this sweet?”
“It’s not that bad, you get used to it,” Odie said with a shrug, swirling the straw around as he continued strolling towards the street corner.
After that sugar overload, Sophie found her own vanilla latte tasted like plain water in comparison.
As they walked along the campus path, Odie glanced sideways at Sophie. The autumn leaves drifted down softly from the trees, and in that moment, Sophie looked quite stunning.
No, she was always stunning.
Her personality was so captivating that after you got to know her, it was easy to focus more on her depth and spirit than her outward beauty.
“I’ve been meaning to ask, do we know each other? Why do you keep looking at me like that?” Sophie asked, having noticed Odie’s curious, yet friendly gaze on her.
Odie replied, “You remind me of a...friend.”
“Really?” she asked, intrigued.
“Something like that,” Odie said. “Meeting her was like a curse, honestly. My bad luck kicked off the day I met her.”
Sophie’s curiosity was piqued. “Is it really that bad?”
“Oh, it is,” Odie said slowly, as if recalling a distant memory. “From the moment I met her, my life turned upside down. She’s sharp, smarter than most guys, and you can't outwit her. I really can’t stand her.”
“The way you talk about her, it doesn’t sound like you dislike her. You care about her,” Sophie pointed out.
