From Strangers to Soulmates
Change of Heart
Sophie
[On her way home, walking beside Margaret, she remains silent, her head bowed in thought.]
Margaret
[Shooting a glance at her daughter]
Margaret
Sophie, is everything okay?
Margaret
You’ve been awfully quiet since we left Claire’s house.
Sophie
I’m fine, Mom. Just... tired.
Margaret
Alright, sweetheart. Let me know if you want to talk.
[Sophie after finishing her dinner, she pushes her chair back and heads straight to her room without saying much]
Margaret
What’s gotten into her?
In her room, she closes the door and walks to her bed, sitting down, her mind swirling with thoughts.
Sophie
Why does Ethan have to be so cold? It’s like he doesn’t care about anything or anyone...
She glances out the window, her gaze softening as she remembers the conversation she overheard.
Sophie
But... losing his dad like that?
Sophie
It must have been so hard for him.
[Hugs her knees, feeling a mix of emotions—frustration, sadness, and guilt]
Sophie
Maybe I’ve been too hard on him. He’s not mean... he’s just hurt.
[Her determination flares as she sits up straight, staring out into the night sky]
Sophie
I’ll try again. This time, I’ll be patient. He deserves that much, doesn’t he?
