Sophia suddenly stopped bothering Maya, and Maya felt out of place, sitting at her desk practicing calligraphy, with a sense that something was missing without anyone to disturb her.
Throughout this year, while practicing calligraphy, Sophia would spend half the time sitting on the sofa chattering away with Maya about Christopher. Asking whether Christopher's recent attitude towards her was better, and if he had glanced at her a few more times at the last party.
Maya thought of Sophia, took a deep breath, immediately put down her brush, grabbed the phone beside her, and dialed Sophia's number. After all, Sophia wasn't Christopher, so she didn't need to keep up appearances. If she missed Sophia, she'd just call her over to hang out!
Over the course of this year and a half, Sophia not only developed a dependency on Christopher, but also made Maya dependent on her.
After the call connected, Sophia lazily asked, "Maya, what's up? Calling me so early in the morning."
