RONAN'S POV:
"So, what brings you to this cozy corner?" Sophie asked, leaning in slightly, her voice dripping with curiosity.
I shrugged, not really in the mood to get into the details. "Just winding down after a long day," I said, keeping it vague.
Sophie tilted her head, her eyes sparkling with interest. "Winding down alone? That doesn't seem like much fun," she teased, her tone light but probing.
I smirked, appreciating her playful approach but not wanting to give her the wrong impression. "Sometimes, it’s exactly what you need," I replied, taking another sip of my wine.
She nodded thoughtfully, as if considering my words. "Fair enough. But if you change your mind, I’m here to keep you company," she offered, her smile widening.
Before I could respond, the bartender placed a glass of whiskey in front of her, and she raised it in a small toast. "To unexpected encounters," she said, clinking her glass against mine.
