Chapter 126: A Deeper Connection

As the weeks passed, Matthew and Sophia's relationship blossomed. Their text conversations turned into long phone calls that lasted late into the night. They shared stories, dreams, and laughter, deepening their bond with each passing day. Finally, they decided to meet up again, this time for a proper dinner date. Matthew was nervous but excited, eager to spend more time with Sophia.

The restaurant Matthew chose was a cozy, upscale bistro tucked away in a quiet part of town. He arrived early, wanting everything to be perfect. As he waited for Sophia, he couldn't help but feel a mix of anticipation and anxiety. When she walked in, looking radiant and smiling, his nerves melted away.

"Sophia, you look amazing," Matthew said, standing up to greet her.

"Thank you, Matthew. You look pretty good yourself," she replied with a wink.
