The magic of Late Afternoon
A Quiet Afternoon Together (Episode 4B)
After class, Sophie and Adrian walked back home together.
As soon as Sophie rang the doorbell,
soft meow… meow… sounds came from inside.
Laltu and Bintu. It felt like they had been waiting just for her.
The moment she stepped in, they rushed toward her.
Sophie picked them up in her arms, gently stroking them with affection.
“Missed me, didn’t you?” she whispered softly.
Then she turned to Adrian — “You freshen up. I’ll be back.”
Still holding the kittens, she walked into her room.
A few moments later —
“Adrian… come.” “Lunch is ready.”
Adrian stepped in. For a moment… he paused.
Sophie stood there in a soft yellow dress,
light floral patterns dancing across the fabric.
She looked… effortlessly graceful.
Adrian couldn’t look away.
Sophie noticed.
A soft smile curved on her lips —
“Adrian…
you’re not supposed to stare like that while eating.”
He looked away, slightly embarrassed.
“Finish your meal quickly,” she added gently.
“Then get some rest.”
A brief pause—
“After that… we’ll work on assignment.”
Adrian nodded silently.
But inside — something felt different.
Something… warm.
