"Remember the last time I came to your house ?"
"Yes, the same lights. No, these are new ones. It was ages ago. Christmas I guess."
"No, your birthday."
"Ah ! Birthdays. Who cares about it these days ? "
"Come on, friends do."
With a smirk, she asked, "Really ?"
I decided to keep quiet. Sofie had this hold on me.
A lot had changed during the twelve years.
I had left Sofie's world and never intended to return.
But somehow I re-entered her life.
Shaking me from my reverie, she asked, "I guess you will leave in a day or two."
I replied, "Yes, tomorrow evening."
"And when will you be back ? "
I had no answer to her question. She smiled slyly and drifted, "You remind me of him. He had no answer to most of my questions."
"I am sorry, Sofie", I blurted.
"Please don't be. He is not dead." The standard Sofie-answer.
She continued,"You should go and find someone.Its almost time. "
