During the weekend, Shawn and Rachel hung out at a fancy restaurant. They had dinner and chatted while eating, both of them smiling and laughing together. After dinner, Shawn drove Rachel home.
As they parked Infront her house, Rachel's face lit up with a warm smile. "Thank you, I had so much fun today."
Shawn's expression was calm, his eyes crinkling slightly at the corners. "I had fun too."
Her eyes sparkled with hope. "Do you think we can do this more often?" Shawn hesitated, his brow furrowing slightly. But then his face broke into a gentle smile. "It's okay if—"
"I will," he cut her off, taking her hands tenderly in his. "I will like to do this again more often, let's give each other another chance."
Her face lit up with joy, her eyes shining with excitement. "Yes, I will," she said, pulling him into a tight hug and he chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Hope I am not dreaming right now," Rachel said, pulling away from him.
"No, you are not, you are wide awake." He teased.
They both laughed, the tension between them dissipating. Rachel's face glowed with happiness as she kissed his cheek. "Thank you."
He smiled, his eyes warm. "You should go inside now."
She nodded, smiling. "Sure, talk to you later."
She waved at him as he drove off, while she went inside, a happy smile still on her face.

Some minutes later, Shawn arrived home, a hint of fatigue on his face as he sighed and went inside. He found Sofia sleeping on the couch, her eyes peacefully closed as she had dozed off while watching her favorite series. A soft smile crossed Shawn's face as he gently moved to her side.
He carefully lifted her into his arms, and Sofia stirred slightly, still asleep. Shawn carried her upstairs to her room, his expression gentle. He lay her down on the bed, covering her with a blanket, and then turned off the light before leaving and shutting the door.
He headed to his own room, his movements relaxed as he began to unwind. He took off his clothes and moved to the bathroom to freshen up. Some minutes later, he emerged looking refreshed. He walked to his closet, slipped on his pyjamas, and lay down on the bed.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he reached for the bottle of sleeping pills on his nightstand. He took two pills and diluted them with water before laying down.
In the middle of the night, Sofia woke up feeling thirsty. She got out of bed and headed to the kitchen to get a glass of water. After pouring herself a drink, she decided to return to her room. As she walked by Shawn's room, she paused, hearing a sound coming from inside. She pushed the door open slightly and her eyes fell on Shawn, who was groaning on the bed, trapped in a nightmare. His face was contorted in distress, and he was sweating profusely, despite the cold room.
Shawn's eyes were scrunched up, and his body was tense, as if he was trying to escape from something. Sofia's expression turned concerned, and she rushed to his side, trying to wake him up. "Shawn," she said, shaking him gently.
As she touched his forehead, she felt his scorching temperature. "Oh my," she exclaimed, trying to leave to get a wet towel. But Shawn's hand shot out, grabbing hers tightly.
Sofia gently guided his head to rest on her lap, and she began to caress his hair, trying to soothe him. "It's okay now, go back to sleep," she whispered.
Shawn's body slowly relaxed, and his grip on her hand loosened. He fell asleep, still holding her hand tightly. Sofia sighed, wondering what could have caused him so much distress. Her expression was a mix of concern and curiosity as she continued to stroke his hair, watching him sleep peacefully.

Two days later, Shawn, Rachel, and Sofia walked through the shopping mall. As they strolled, Sofia's name was called from behind. They paused and turned to see who it was.
Sofia's face lit up with surprise. "Sam?" she called out, moving towards him with a smile.
Sam smiled back, and they exchanged warm greetings. Shawn's expression was curious, his eyes narrowing slightly as he wondered who Sam was and how Sofia knew him. Rachel's face remained calm, her eyes observing the scene with interest.
"I can see you're getting better," Sam said, his eyes scanning Sofia's face.
Sofia nodded, her smile still in place. "Yeah."
Sam asked, "Do you usually come here for shopping?"
Sofia shook her head. "Not really, my guardian decided to take his fiancée out for some shopping, and I decided to tag along."
Sam's face turned understanding. "Oh, that's good."
Sofia's face turned concerned. "How's Nina? I haven't gotten the chance to call her, hope she isn't angry."
Sam reassured her, "No, she's just worried that you haven't called her."
Sofia nodded. "I will."
Sam smiled. "Okay, I guess I'll catch up with you some other time."
Sofia smiled back, and they waved at each other before parting ways. Sofia returned to Shawn and Rachel, who were watching her with interest.
"Sorry I kept you waiting," Sofia said, apologetic.
Shawn's eyes narrowed slightly. "Who was that? Where do you know him from?"
Rachel chimed in, her voice curious. "Is he your boyfriend? He looks cute, though, and you two look like a match."
Sofia's face turned slightly pink. "No, he's not my boyfriend. He's the doctor who treated me when I had an accident."
Rachel's eyes widened in surprise. "What? You had an accident? When? How?"
Sofia's expression turned calm. "It's actually some weeks back, but I'm okay now."
Rachel sighed in relief. "That's good. Shall we?"
They continued shopping, Sofia's face was relaxed, while Shawn's eyes still held a hint of curiosity.
A week later, summer break was fast approaching, and Sofia and Mabel were preparing for their exams, studying hard together. Meanwhile, Shawn and Rachel's relationship was going smoothly, and they hung out frequently. People started to suspect that they were dating, and the news was spreading online.
One cool evening, Shawn was in the dining room working on his laptop. Rachel walked in wearing a revealing nightwear, and Shawn's eyes widened in surprise. He gulped and nervously returned to his laptop.
"Hey," Rachel said, trying to get his attention.
Shawn looked up, his expression guarded. "Why are you still awake?" he asked.
Rachel moved behind him, encircling her arms around his waist. "I couldn't sleep because you weren't beside me," she whispered, kissing his neck and caressing his body.
Shawn's eyes fluttered closed as he tried to control himself, focusing on his laptop. "Rachel..."
But Rachel interrupted him, shutting him up with a kiss. "I need you, Shawn," she said between kisses.
Shawn's eyes slowly closed, and he responded to her kisses. The kiss became more intense, and he stood up, pulling her onto the dining table. A smile spread across Rachel's face as she pulled him closer, her legs wrapping around him.
Just as things were getting passionate, a broken glass fell, shattering the moment. They turned to see Sofia's stunned face.
"Sofia?" Shawn called, pulling away from Rachel.
Sofia's eyes were wide, her face pale. "Um, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. And I'm sorry the glass slipped from my hand."
Shawn rushed to her, concern etched on his face. "Are you okay?" he asked, checking if she was hurt by the broken glass.
Rachel's face turned sour, her eyes narrowing as she watched Shawn's concern for Sofia.
She nodded, her voice barely above a whisper. "Yes, I am. I'll get the brush and dustpan. Don't worry, continue with what you're doing."
She quickly moved to the kitchen, leaving Shawn and Rachel in an awkward silence. Rachel's eyes flashed with anger, her face twisted in frustration.
Sofia returned with the brush and dustpan, quickly sweeping up the broken glass and rushing to throw it away. She avoided Shawn's gaze, hurrying back to her room.
The tension in the air was palpable, and Shawn's eyes lingered on Sofia's retreating back, a mixture of concern and guilt etched on his face.
