Chapter 62: oil
The next day Adam still woke up early. It was a habit now ingrained in him from years of struggle.
As soon as he came out of his apartment after getting ready he saw that Sophia was standing outside his gate. She was lost in some deep thoughts just staring at his door.
She had not even rung his doorbell today. Adam usually woke up to that sound. But today due to his old habit he had already woken up early. He had been waiting for Sophia.
But when she did not ring the bell he thought that perhaps Sophia herself was late today. That’s why Adam got ready first. As soon as he opened his gate he saw that Sophia was already there fully ready and just standing outside.
As soon as Sophia saw that Adam had opened his gate her cheeks became completely red with shame. She was not going to say anything. She just looked down at her feet.
"Have you just come here?" Adam asked his voice a little curious.
Hearing this Sophia immediately said hesitatingly "Yes yes you are right. I have just come here." But the truth was that Sophia had been standing there for a long time.
Her mind was repeatedly telling her to just ring the bell and call Adam. But she was paralyzed by the thought of what had happened yesterday. The image of Adam with that other girl was burned into her mind.
She had gone to her friend Monty and told him everything. Monty had tried to explain to Sophia for a long time that she was overthinking things.
But the same thoughts were going on in Sophia’s mind again and again. And eventually even Monty’s words had stopped reaching her. She had gotten so immersed in her own negative thoughts. Sophia had not been able to sleep at all last night.
