Sophia was feeling a bit down, as if she had something on her mind. Her family noticed and asked her about it, but she wouldn't say a word. Diaz's mother, concerned, said, "Is work too tough for you? Oh dear, I think you should take some time to recuperate at home, then go out and relax a bit—maybe enjoy the Aegean Sea or the Caribbean. Why work so hard? Look at your little face; you've lost weight and haven't gained even a couple of pounds since you got back!"
Sophia smiled, "Mom, I'm fine! Work is fulfilling! Once I have enough experience and save up some money, I'll open my own pastry shop. Isn't that great?"
Diaz's mother had no choice but to let her be.
In reality, Sophia was quite troubled. Roger's words had surprised her; she was no longer the Sophia Diaz of six months ago. His sudden confession didn't stir her heart, but it left her unsure of how to face him.
