Charley watched as her brother walked away, hoping everything was ok. Sophie was starting to get on her nerves, but she tried not to show it. She figured if she didn’t interact more than she had to this night would go smoothly, but apparently not. “So, Mackenzie,” Charley began, not liking the silence, “You and Carter go to the same school, right?”

Charley nodded and focused her attention on her food, not sure what else to say. She still wasn’t certain why she was here, and she didn’t think Sophie knew either.
Sophie let her hand drift to Mackenzie’s thigh under the table. “Charley, I owe you can apology,” she said. It still felt really weird apologising to people. She was raised to believe that it showed weakness and that any weakness could spell her doom.
“I think you owe Carter more of an apology than me. He’s the one that actually has hope you may be a good person.” Charley replied. She wasn’t sure she wanted to hear her cousin’s apology, but she couldn’t just walk away.
“I stand by everything I said on our first interaction,” Sophie replied. She knew there were some things there she should really take back, but it wasn’t that important to her. She didn’t want them thinking she was a good person and doing something stupid like trusting her, so the bitch act she’d played into worked well enough. “I wanted to apologise for what I said that one time. About how your life was so perfect then you just dropped off the map. I was wrong, your life wasn’t perfect and I’m sure you’re happier now.”
“What do you mean?” Charley asked wearily.
“Jasper Green,” she replied. “I visited your old school out of curiosity. He seems like a jerk, and my instinct is rarely wrong about that sort of thing.”
“What the hell?! You had no right to do that! Sophie you don’t even know us,” Charley snapped. She definitely didn’t want to get into her relationship with Jasper with her cousin.

Mackenzie felt Sophie's hand on her thigh and she let her fingers fine Sophie's, lacing them together. She gave her hand a gentle squeeze as she listened to Sophie speak to Charley. Mack heard Sophie and then Charley. "You're right she doesn't but she's trying. She wants to get to know you and Carter since she is staying here for a long time," Mack said.
