Sophie stared at the two invitations. Liam's gaming tournament and Chloe's pottery workshop. Both events appealed to her, albeit in different ways. She felt a knot in her stomach.

She knew Liam would be disappointed if she didn't attend the tournament. But she also knew Chloe loved the workshops, and had been wanting someone to go with her.

She decided to make it work. She arrived at the tournament early, cheering Liam on, and gave him words of encouragement. Then, just before the finals, she slipped away.

At the pottery workshop, she chatted to Chloe, and got her some of her favourite snacks. She spent the rest of the time chatting and giving Chloe thoughtful compliments.
