Chapter 142 - Getting closer (5) (1/2)

Sophia heard Sarah's question about what is in her heart, and responded, ”I don't understand.”

”You are talking about love, feelings... not about some business proposal. It has nothing to do with mind. You need to ask yourself what your heart wants.”, Sarah explained.

”Not long in love, and already a love guru”, JoAnna teased Sarah.

Sophia ignored JoAnna's comment. She was thinking about what Sarah said. ”I don't know how to find out what my heart wants.”

Sarah responded without hesitation, ”I realized how much Aiden means to me when I thought how I would feel if he is not part of my life. The thought of losing him made my heart ache. Whenever I'm with him, I feel like anything is possible.

Sophia, this is not about Mark or Felix, it's about you. How do they make you feel? Does any of them make you feel stronger, bolder? Do you feel safe with any of them?

Maybe both of them are good for you... can you pick one? And maybe neither of them is good.”

There was a long silence.

JoAnna was admiring Sarah while listening to the advice she just gave to Sophia. 'I'm happy that Sarah found her love.' From the types of questions, she asked Sophia, JoAnna can tell that Sarah is deeply in love and that she understands her feelings well. 'Will I ever fall in love so madly that I would only think about being with my love? Will I find a man who makes me stronger?' JoAnna thought how it would be nice if she finds a man who makes her grow as a person and become stronger. Among three sisters she is always the timid one. She is always the one being protected by older brave and younger reckless sister.

After few minutes of not moving a muscle except for blinking, Sophia finally nodded. ”I need to think about these things. Once I come to a conclusion, I will make sure to clear up things with Mark and Felix. Last six years I was not firm enough in rejecting Mark, so he holds onto a hope that someday I will accept him, and we can be a couple again. And now I'm leading Felix to think that relationship between us is possible, without clarifying my heart first.”

There was another period of silence.

”Thank you, thank you both.” Sophia said. ”I will got get ready for bed now.” Sophia dropped from the conference call without waiting for her sisters to respond.

JoAnna frowned, ”This is the second time she did this. Are we going to talk about the Simmons or not?”
