Jason furrowed his brow but went with Jewel's preference, skipping the cream puffs and only picking up a box of durian-flavored pastries.
Once they were heading back, he handed the paper bag to Jewel, "It's chilly out here, better to enjoy these back inside!"
The girl with Jewel exaggerated her tone, "Wow, talk about playing favorites, huh? Got something for Jewel and left me and Sophia out in the cold!"
Hearing this, Sophia turned around, catching Jason's gaze. She quickly smiled, "I'm not hungry, actually. My mom's been on my case about gaining weight over the holidays, so I think I'll skip the snacks tonight."
Finnian chimed in, "You're not overweight at all. Your mom just means she's been cooking up a storm, and you've been enjoying home cooking more than usual."
After a bit of laughter, their ride-share pulled up.
Jewel and Jason waved goodbye, "See ya around."
Jason simply nodded.
Sophia was genuinely surprised at this point. She knew Jason well enough to know that aside from work, he hardly ever chatted with girls over the phone. Had something changed between them after tonight?
She bid farewell to the others, got into the car, and took a seat next to Jason in the back.
Jason, having had a few drinks, leaned back, feeling a bit dizzy, and pretended to rest.
Sophia suddenly wanted to break the silence, "What do you think will happen to Bradon and Miranda?"
Jason pinched the bridge of his nose, replying in a low voice, "I've made some calls. They'll be facing multiple charges and will end up spending a few years behind bars."
Sophia nodded, "Zoey told me some things today about Robin."
Jason's brow furrowed involuntarily as he turned to look at her, a hint of tension in his eyes, "What about?"
In the dim light, Sophia didn't notice Jason's unease and simply said, "Zoey brought up that charity event, the one where I met Robin. Turns out, things weren't as I saw them."
