"No" She nodded, still confused about Sofia’s bizarre behavior

What would Regina possibly want to discuss with Sofia? Brandon? Hell no! The last thing Regina wanted was to hear Sofia’s explanation of why Brandon wasn’t good enough for her or, worse, details about that ina must’ve looked as befuddled orat her as if expecting a better explanation for her sudden change in irls

Sarah and Valerie had already walked away, tending to their little ones, and Pat had been called away by her ood-bye again Bell told Brandon once again how nice it’d been to meet him, and they finally made their way out of there

As expected, the ina hadn’t decided if she’d wait for Brandon to admit that Sofia Moreno was his Sofie fro it up on her own

"So what happens if she onna co a little annoyed that he was focusing on this when there was soet to "I see her once or twice a year if that We’ve never been close enough that I’d feel co back to him, "he’s a very inconsequential part of ht of until the other day when Pat called We went out one summer, and when it was over, it was over He wasn’t anybody that made a real difference infor a reaction to that He had to knohat she was trying to imply After today, there was no doubt in heron that one o

That was his only response, and they were quiet for a while Was he really not going to address the Morenos and their sister? It wasn’t as if it were so, but it would kill her wondering why--if Sofia stillto hi, fewShe could get creative and so it back to subject of his unexpected reunion with these people, but he said nothing
