Sophia read the text what must have been 10 times before she locked her phone and shoved it in her bag with her brows furrowed, but when her eyes lifted again, she noticed Mick. She didn't want to be the girl with the baggage (ie. the psycho ex) and so she tried to play it off by forcing a smile as she tucked a blonde strand of hair behind the shell of her ear. Struggling to swallow and wet her suddenly dry throat, she eased through the gate when he opened it, clutching her back tightly to her side as if it were a plate of armor.<br/><br/>Maybe he hadn't noticed, she thought as they walked back past the pool area and towards the staff apartments in silence, the music and chatter of the parting fading away gradually until it was nothing more than a distant buzz. When Mick did finally speak, however, she winced and dropped her gaze, her heels grazing over the concrete beneath her as she dragged her feet.<br/><br/>"Yeah, it's okay," she insisted with a wave of her hand and an overzealous nod. "I just got a weird text.." With a shrug, Sophia chewed at her lip gently and turned her gaze to look at Mick. If anyone would understand, it was him. Plus, she figured he'd put two and two together pretty quickly.<br/><br/>"Rodrigo's being a dick. As always." Rolling her eyes slightly, the blonde heaved a sigh. "Maybe I<em>should</em>have punched him so he'd get the message." The thought made her shake her head and her shoulder gently brushed against him as she walked, swaying just slightly.<br/><br/>"Thank god for Dom," she started again, her voice low and soft, "and you, of course." She pursed her lips but a girlish smile tweaked the corners of her mouth and flashed in her eyes. "I don't really have anyone else on this island."
