"Let me carry them."

"Lando, it's just two bags and the flowers, it's not heavy."

"I'm trying to be a gentleman, let me be it." He took the bags and flowers from her hands while she laughed.

After grocery shopping, Lando drove Sophie home and helped her carry the groceries inside. Once inside the apartment, she took the groceries and put them on the kitchen counter. While he just stood there next to the door. She looked at him and laughed, 'he looks so cute' she thought.

"Thank you for helping me with the groceries. Would you like to stay for a little bit or do you want to leave?"

"May I stay?"

"If you want to." He nodded. "Okay, come in. You can sit wherever you want."

He sat down on the couch with the flowers in my hands. She grabbed a base and put water inside, left it on the dinner table and walked up to him.

"Wait."

She says, runs somewhere and comes back with a camera, she takes his hand that was holding the flowers and puts them up to his face. She takes a picture and whispers 'cute', takes the flowers and puts them on the base.

While she did that, he looked at the place. It was a very cozy apartment, you can tell she did the decor because it has her style, there were plants and greenery around, some framed pictures, scented candles, all very Soph vibes. When you enter, at the left there's the kitchen, it's not big but also not small, the counter separates the kitchen from the living room and in front of it there's a small dinner table, then a smaller table in front of the couch to watch the tv hung on the wall, thats where he sitting right now, and at his left there is a big sliding door that leads to that balcony she likes to drink wine in.

"Water? Juice? Soda?" She asks and opens her fridge.

"Water is fine. I thought you had pets."

"Why? I never said I had pets."

"I know, but you bought cat and dog food."

"Oh, Ria and I are going to visit an animal shelter tomorrow, I thought of buying some supplies to take there."

"How nice of you."

He got up from the couch and walked around checking some of her framed pictures. On one shelf, she had five pictures. In one of them, there was little baby Sophie, she stills look the same as when she was a baby. In another picture, there was a woman that looks exactly like Sophie but older, and she's holding a bouquet of daisies like the ones he got for her today. In another picture, Sophie was with another lady, not the daisy lady, but it looked like her. In the other photo, the women of the daisies and the woman that was posing with Sophie before, were together, they looked a lot alike. And in the last picture, it was the three of them together, Sophie with the two women posing. Her smile looks different from what it looks now. She seems very happy in that picture. Now she looks happy, but not like that. It was different.

"Here." She hands him a glass of water.

"Who is she?" He points at the women with the daisies.

"That is my mom."

"Is she back home?"

"She was, she passed away last year." Sophie said and Lando choked on the water he was drinking. "Are you okay?"

"Yes." He coughed. "Sorry about your mom."

"It's okay, you didn't know."

"And who is that?" He pointed at the other lady.
