Sophia felt completely dazed.
Lucas pulled her into his arms. "Don't overthink it. It's not your fault — and him showing up out of nowhere like that? It's too weird to be coincidence."
It wasn't that he was being petty; it was just strange.
"Why were you so distracted today?" he asked.
"I saw a silhouette that looked exactly like my mother's back, that's why…" she said.
"Then here's the thing — why did a woman show up at all? And why did Andrew happen to be there at the same time?"
Lucas stayed calm. He understood the woman in his arms was losing her composure, and if he started panicking too, things would only get worse.
Sophia realized, a beat later, "Right — how did he just happen to be there?"
She had been standing at the LT Pictures entrance — Andrew's company was in a totally different part of town, even facing the opposite direction. For him to be there felt like too much of a coincidence.
