It was a relaxing day after school. Both Ali and Sophia didn't have any extra-curricular activities after school - mainly because they had worked it out so that they would have one day in a week that was 'free'.
To date, of course.
Some may say it isn't romantic to have their 'dates' in school, but for Ali and Sophia, what was important was that they could spend time together.
The only problem was, Ali was constantly wondering when was the 'best' time to talk about his faith. Too many times and it would get boring, wouldn't it? If the interest wasn't there, and one forced it, wouldn't one start feeling a bit miffed?
But if he didn't bring up the subject, wouldn't it mean that he's just delaying the inevitable?
He hadn't told Sophia about the deadline as he didn't want the added pressure to be on her, but there was no denying the fact that time was passing them by. One may think 11 more months is a long time, but to Ali, it wasn't.
