I'm fine, Sophie. [ a lie. just because it hadn't truly hit her yet, that bela was really gone, didn't mean that she was dealing with this better than anyone else. it almost made it worse for her. that any minute realization would hit and her temporary strong facade would crumble. if you could call it strong. ] You don't need to be worrying about being here for me.
[ though you could talk to adam about being there, instead. it would make things easier on her if he stopped being so absent. it was bad enough when bela was here, but now the absence was worse. alone in her empty house. she turns from sophie to pour coffee into the mugs. ]
