𝐒𝐔𝐆𝐀𝐑 : 𝑩𝑼𝑹𝑵𝑺.

since   i   got   mostly   everything   set   up,   i’ll   be   archiving   this   blog   &   moving   over   there   !

sophie   smiles   at   him   when   they’ve   successfully   done   one   part   of   the   furniture.   ❛   at   this   rate,   maybe   we’ll   finish   it   by   the   end   of   the   day,   ❜   she   teases.   ❛   but   do   you   want   to   take   a   break   first   ?   maybe   we   can   eat   something   before   we   continue.   i   didn’t   realize   this   was   all   so   tiring.   ❜

sophie   leans   closer   to   take   a   look   at   the   photos   on   hana’s   phone.   a   smile   curls   on   her   lips,   entranced   by   the   sight   of   food   decorated   into   disney   characters.   she   knows   how   childlike   it   makes   her,   but   this   is   something   she’s   never   experienced   before.   it’s   as   if   she’s   taking   the   opportunity   to   MAKE   UP   for   it.   ❛   the   claw   !   ❜   sophie   imitates   back,   before   tangling   their   arms   together.   ❛   i   do   !   christmas   shopping   is   the   second   most   important   part.   but   first,   let’s   go   have   lunch   !   where   do   you   want   to   eat   first   ?   ❜

❛   well   .   .   .   you   never   thought   of   adoption   ?   there   are   plenty   of   kids   who   need   a   capable   mom.   i   don’t   doubt   you’re   an   amazing   one.   ❜   sophie   gives   her   a   smile   of   encouragement.   ❛   mhm,   it’s   a   girl.   well   .   .   .   technically,   we’re   not   sure   yet,   but   my   motherly   instincts   tell   me   it’s   a   girl.   ❜

sophie   can’t   help   the   smile   on   her   lips.   she   feels   like   this   is   an   accomplishment,   almost,   being   able   to   tend   to   agnes’   wounds   after   convincing   her   that   sophie   can   help.   she   knows   that   people   like   these   are   stubborn   as   hell,   but   they   also   yearn   to   be   cared   for,   to   be   touched.   ❛   it’s   my   day   off,   ❜   sophie   hums.   she   brings   out   her   first   aid   kit   &   starts   to   clean   up   the   wound.   ❛   so,   technically,   this   is   off   record.   ❜   her   gaze   flickers   towards   her.   ❛   i   won’t   tell   anyone.   i   promise.   ❜
