When Sophia finished all she had to do for the day, she went to pick up the twins from kindergarten. She suddenly got a message from Cora.
The message read, "Sophia, you and the kids don't have to stay up waiting for me tonight. I'll be back home much later as I'm out on a date. Don't miss me too much!"
She went on a date? Tonight? Who did she go out on the date with?
Could it be Ace? When did they make up? So Cora had been pretending when she acted like she never wanted to talk to him again.
Sophia stood there, confused, with the phone still in her hand.
Alexa noticed that her mother now wore a confused expression, so she asked, "What's the problem, Mommy?"
"Nothing. Cora sent a message to say she won't be home early, tonight," Sophia answered. Pulling herself from her thoughts about Cora's date, she touched Alexa on the head.
"What happened?" Alexa considered for a while and came to a conclusion. "Mommy, is Cora in love?" she asked.
