I was just turning the corner and there you were, the center of attention, surrounded by President Poe and sof the other school big shots." "You were staring atfor quite a while," Brandon said. "Didn't feel a thing back then?" Sophia shook her head slightly, her lips pursing as she looked at him: "When I saw you that day, I was totally spaced out for a while. I can't really put my finger on it, but seeing you there, shining in the crowd, I felt proud yet a bit bummed, kinda bittersweet, y'know? It just seemed right that you should be admired from a distance, just shining there in the crowd." Brandon managed a wry smile: "So when I looked back, you ducked out of sight, huh?"

"There have been other people around me, sure. But from our school days to reuniting after college and right up to now, Sophia, I've always had a thing for you, and that hasn't changed." His voice was soft, his gaze steady and serious.

In the depths of his dark eyes, his look was focused and earnest.

Sophia felt a familiar pang, that subtle sorrow welling up again.

She couldn't pinpoint why, and she didn't want to wallow in these melancholic vibes.

Sophia wasn't the least bit sleepy now.

"I..." she hesitated, her lips parting slightly, "I think I'd like to see a picture of the kid first." She lacked Brandon's confidence; she feared not recognizing the child at first glance would be too much to bear.

The thought of the child only deepened the sadness in her heart.

"She's already on her way here," Brandon murmured softly. "You'll recognize her." Sophia forced a smile: "You've been SO of n about showingpictures You're not making this all thictures english up, But she knew he wasn't.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be feeling such a strong emotional response.

Brandon knew she was using this to ease her anxiety, but he still reassured her with a smile: "I was worried all your emotions would be spent on just a photo, kind of like your reaction when you first saw me. If you reacted to the kid the sway you did to me, she'd be crushed." Even though he knew she wouldn't.

In her heart, Theresa was what mattered most.

He wasn't.
