Convictions: Found (Night 3-D)

“Come on just for a couple days.” Phil stated trying to be sympathetic.

“Phil…” Sofia stated clearly shocked. “You..You called me. I’ve been trying to limit myself here.”

“You’re…. Look I’m trying to make some tough decisions. And I just told Marc the same thing I’m telling you. I need some space to think.” Phil heard her siffle over the phone. “Sofia…”

“I enchanted this stupid bear for you!” Sofia began. “ I thought it would protect you! I thought!... I came down there as a favor for Marc. But...by the end I was hoping you would at least like me” She siffle again. “But if that’s how you feel fine.” With that she hung up.

Phil sighed. “Okay, now did seriously have to start our date with that?”

“Was it really?...” Sophia paused. “Okay, yeah. I guess I understand why that was hard for you. Still your boss’s wife can’t just-”

“If all was just because you don’t know Maple,” Phil interrupted. “I’m calling her back right now.”

“Her word really has that much weight to you?” Sophia questioned. Phil dug into his pocket, and places a receipt on the table. “Wait..isn’t this..”

“No.” Phil began. “It IS my old guitar. And I know, because my uncle Clarence wrote his name and Symphony full name on the back. In case he ever saw it again.”

Sophia dropped her head on to the table. “Your serious?”

“Marc and Baron.” Phil began. “Found a box from the night Sofia introduce herself. Containing something we don’t use. Period. From a supplier that Marc ended up having to get the one part from. Brought it to Maple. She looked over the part for a maybe minute, I’m told. And said to call me, and have me bring it to the pawn shop it apparently belong to.”

“And you have your guitar back now,” Sophia finished. “okay, fine, she knows the future.”

“That’s…” Phil sighed. “Maybe worth explaining some other time. But you just had me call a girl and-”

“Phil.” Sophia stated. “Whatever Maple does, you’re the one who admitted she has own up to being wrong before. And we’re not talking about visiting a pawn shop once. We’re talking about letting a random girl just walk straight into your life and become a part of it.”

“Excuse us.” Baron stated with Lydia relaxing on his arm.

“You’re also” Lydia began. “dealing with magic that has been banned, because it can literally take one’s freewill from them. If the ever growing amount of mindless people wandering the street doesn’t remind you, who or whatever group is doing this is attempting to warp time and space themselves.”

“And some of us have had very old relationship given back to us, which we have been happily pursuing again”  Lydia nestled herself into the single arm she was cozied into as he spoke. “Lastly, Lydia was the friend Sofia took to Sha’knot the first Maple got her the tickets” Baron emphasised the word Maple when he stated this fact. “When and where they first met Myrija who Obb has become quite fond of, so she well check on Sofia for you.”
Sophia sighed. “See? We can’t even have one night ourselves.”

“Can’t help but notice they failed to mention Rob and Johnny too.” Phil admitted. “Rob seemed serious about settling down, and they seemed like a really happy human couple. And I know Johnny been hanging out with Obb, and apparently been feeling better. More importantly neither had nightmares.” Phil stated. “They just… found their way, I guess.”

“Exactly.” Sophia agreed. “You all need to grow up a little, so let’s start with enjoying are dinner.”

So Phil and Sophia had a lovely dinner together, and got to enjoy each other for the first time in a while. Phil both shared a few laughs, and Phil realized he had forgotten about a lot of good things about his current relationship in the process.
