The Beginning Of All Sins

Olivia was surprised to get a message from Sophie. It had been a while since they last spoke, and she was using a new phone number. She wondered how Sophie even found it.

Her shock didn’t last long, though. Soon, she was more concerned about how to respond. She decided to keep it simple and texted back, [I’m fine.]

Sophie replied quickly, [I got your new number from Claude. Why didn’t you tell me? Are you still mad at me or something?]

Olivia wasn’t mad; those feelings were in the past. The truth was, things were different now -they weren’t on the same level anymore. Olivia felt they had nothing in common these

days.

Holding her phone tightly, she slowly typed, [No. I’ve just been really busy.]

[How about we meet up?] Sophie texted.

Olivia froze. She didn’t know what to say.

[We haven’t seen each other for soooo long! I miss you,] Sophie added.

Olivia was confused about her own feelings. She started to type ‘I’m still busy,‘ hesitated,

then replaced it with ‘We’ll do something like that the next time I’m free.‘

But she didn’t press send. After a long time, she finally settled on, [Alright. Where?] NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

[A cafe?]

[Okay.]

[Great! I’ll text you the location tomorrow. Can’t wait to see you!]

Olivia clutched her phone to her chest. Despite everything, Sophie was still someone she felt

she could talk to.

The day went by without much happening.

The following day, Olivia felt a bit better. Her foot hurt less, and she managed to walk down the stairs without help, leaving her wheelchair behind.

“Mom?” she called out to Ana. “I’m going out.”

Ana never really restricted Olivia’s movements because she seldom went out impulsively. ”

Where to?” Ana asked.

“I’m meeting a friend.”

“When will you be back?”

“Just going for coffee.”

“Alright. Just be careful.”

“I will.”

After Ana left, Olivia got a text from Sophie with the address. Alisa helped her into the car.
