Harper lifted a brow, pretending to play dumb. "It was an accident. Seriously. Total accident."
"An accident?" Sophia echoed.
"Yeah. He… wouldn't stop pestering me."
"Ryan is in City Y. How exactly did he 'pester' you?"
Sophia frowned. Ryan was out of the country. How could he show up?
"He came back. A few days ago."
Ryan was back… and didn't contact her? That alone was shocking.
And the Wright family still lurking around, waiting for the perfect moment to strike?
If Ryan really liked Harper, Sophia wasn't against it—
She just had her doubts. And right now? They were multiplying.
"Sophia," William said suddenly, "come over for dinner sometime."
"Dinner? At your house?"
"Yeah. My parents will be traveling soon."
Of course. William's parents never liked the idea of him being close to her. They acted like watchdogs guarding their precious son's emotions.
"We'll see. When I have time."
