Odie couldn't help but chuckle at what Sophie said.
Sophie frowned, clearly not amused by Odie's untimely laughter. "What's so funny? I'm serious!"
"You actually bought it," Odie teased.
"You were messing with me?"
"Yep."
"You're definitely trouble."
"I never said I wasn't."
The beach by the harbor seemed endless, and Odie carried Sophie quite a way down it. Yet he didn't feel tired at all.
When they made it back to campus, Sophie hopped off the motorcycle and handed the helmet to Odie with a bright smile. "Thanks for today. It was really special for me."
Odie stayed seated on his bike, watching Sophie's face light up just because she'd skipped a day of classes. He asked, "What’s your usual routine like? You’re this thrilled over a single day out."
"Honestly, I’m usually pretty happy. My days are filled with classes, meals, and sleep. Sometimes I play the piano or paint. Lately, I’ve been into flower arranging..."
As she spoke, Odie could almost picture Sophie sitting by a window, playing the piano. She had played for him once, and she looked amazing doing it.
But they came from different worlds.
"Alright, princess, go back to your flowers. Stop tagging along with me."
Odie playfully tousled her hair. "Bye, shortie."
Sophie was taken aback for a moment.
When she turned around, Odie was already heading in the opposite direction.
"I'm not short! And... you're going the wrong way."
Sophie called after him, but he was already too far to hear.
Odie meandered through campus, and as sunset approached, he wandered into the school gardens.
His thoughts flickered back to Sophie mentioning her newfound hobby of flower arranging. Without much thought, he picked a few blooms.

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free. More about what’s up with Gordon....
