Sophia Greenwood seemed in no hurry to leave. After a moment, Damien Sterling looked up, his voice indifferent, "Is there something else you need?"
Sophia bit her lip, occasionally casting shy glances at Damien, "Grandfather mentioned the other day that I should come over for dinner."
"Sure."
"Really?" Sophia asked, a hint of joy in her voice.
"Grandfather's always home, he has nothing much to do. You can visit anytime."
"And you?" Sophia asked, her head bowed, seeing this as a rare opportunity to be close to Damien.
"Just go by yourself," Damien responded bluntly, then paused before looking up at Sophia again, "Is that everything?"
Sophia nodded and turned to leave. However, just as she took a few steps, Damien's voice stopped her, "Wait a second."
