"Since you've asked a question, my turn," Nicholas decided.
Sophia saw it fit.
"Sure," she said nonchalantly.
"Shoot," she said, ready.
"Why don't you believe in love?" Nicholas asked offhandedly.
"And why would you want to know?" Sophia asked Nicholas with a smile.
On any other occasion, she would've been upset over being asked this question. But with him asking, it was a different case.
"Just curious, 'is all," Nicholas answered.
Sophia told him, "Come to think of it, I suppose it's because of the fact that every person I knew to be in a relationship and or loved someone paid a price."
She continued on, not realizing what she was on about, "You must've heard what happened to grandpere. My mother as well. It led to my foolish twit of a father marrying Emilia. It was love that caused it all."
She blinked in astonishment. She'd never told anyone that so willingly before. She just felt different around him.
"I should stop now," she mused.
