The sudden appearance of the three was like a replay of that day.
The only difference, perhaps, was the way the door was opened. Last time it had been kicked open, but this time, it was pushed open in a much more civilized manner, as if hinting that this visit would be different.
However, Sophie seemed not to notice, as familiar scenes unfolded, she instantly became alert, frowning and gripping her pen a bit tighter.
But Sam was remarkably calm, even after a glance, he simply lowered his head and continued reading, as if nothing concerned him.
Asher and his companions hesitated for a moment before walking up to Sam.
Sophie, looking at Sam with his head down, wondered why he was so composed.
Was this familiar scenario a chance for her to make a different choice?
While Sophie was puzzled, Asher spoke up.
"Sam, can we talk?"
Sam, flipping through his book and taking notes, responded without looking up.
"What is it?"
