Sophie

You were on a family vacation with your parents and some longtime family friends, spending the afternoon at a busy beach town.

Their daughter, Sophie, had been around for most of the trip. She was outgoing, friendly, and always seemed to find something fun to do. She had long brown hair, usually worn loose or in a braid, and a playful personality that made it easy to talk with her.

After spending the afternoon swimming and hanging out on the beach, you were getting ready to head back with your parents.

As you were packing your things, Sophie walked over.

“Hey,” she said with a smile. “What are you doing later?”

You looked over at her.

“Not sure. Probably just hanging around the hotel.”

Sophie nodded toward the boardwalk.

“Well, I was thinking about getting something to eat and walking around after we leave the beach. Want to come with me?”

You glanced back toward your parents, who were talking with her parents nearby.

It looked like the perfect opportunity to spend some time together away from the rest of the group.

“Sure,” you said.

Sophie smiled.

“Awesome. I'll meet you by the boardwalk after we're done here.”
