She picked up the towel lying next to Ethan and once she had wiped off her face, she sat next to him.“I really had a good time and can't recall the last time that I had such fun. Guess I have been too busy to even think about that.”“I guess so, and I am also glad that you have learned to fight so many battles on your own, but you also need to be careful. Most times when you think that you have won, that is when they decide to strike, and for someone like Sophia, I know fully well that she isn't going to give up.”“I am aware of that, and whatever she decides to throw at me, I will be waiting for her”, she expressed with so much determination in h
