Alex picked up the pace slightly when Sophia was quiet as she had requested. It was good that she could at least bribe her if she wouldn’t listen to her outright. Though, she still really couldn’t figure out why someone like Sophia Powers wanted her around at all.
“It is,” she agreed after a pause. “I love the beach at night too.” Alex took a deep breath through her nose. “It even smells different at night.” She blinked. Did that sound weird? She really didn’t want to come off weird.
Seeing Sophia take off towards the water, Alex actually liked the idea. Gingerly, she took her mary janes off and set them on the bench after sitting on it. Taking off her knee socks, she folded them up and carefully set them atop her shoes. Standing, she slid off her cloak and folded that too and set it down.
Moving down to the water at a quick walk. She sighed as her feet entered the warm water.
