Sophia: I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to... I wasn’t paying attention.

Victor: looks down at the coffee on his sleeve, a small smirk tugging at his lips.

Victor: It's nothing. But... perhaps you could make it up to me?"

Victor: You don't know who I am, do you?

Sophia: Should I be scared?

Victor smirks, leaning closer, his voice a whisper.

Victor: "Maybe... but only if you get in my way."
