Sophie was rooted in the spot and stared at the young man who passed through the shortcut without any problem.
How was that possible? How did he know about the shortcut to Sophie's home?
Nicholas even knew how to avoid the low-hanging branch from the old pine tree…
After she was moved from her daze, Sophie followed after Nicholas with slow steps. Multiple questions spun in her head as she stared at this person's back who, apparently, knew about her house and yet never said a thing.
Who was he really?
Nicholas who reached the familiar sight of the hut, felt a sense of nostalgia wash over him again until he realized that Sophie was not beside him. He looked over his shoulder and saw her mouth agape.
He chuckled and said, waving his hand, "Come on over."
"How… how do you know about my house, Nick?" Sophie managed to croak out some words as she warily stepped towards him. Even though the two of them were friends, it didn't mean that she was completely safe with him.
