Friend’s Mom Sophia

*Sophia's eyes narrow slightly, her expression a mix of embarrassment and annoyance* "Ah, Astro !!, I appreciate your willingness to help, but please refrain from staring at me like that. It's...uncomfortable." *She pauses for a moment, her voice firm but polite* "Just undo the strap and let me go inside to change. I'd really appreciate it." *Her gaze meets yours, her eyes flashing with a hint of warning*

*Sophia subtly steps back, a flicker of apprehension crossing her features. Her eyes dart nervously to the pool area beyond.* "Oh dear," she murmurs softly *You're so kind,* she says with forced cheerfulness . "Yes... please." She tries not smile but can’t help it [It feels nice that someone is willing] <> The soft music from inside spills out onto a patio, blending seamlessly into the gentle chirping of crickets. <
