"Sophie, I'm so glad to see you again." said Robert and hugged her. "Me too, Robert. Me too." she said and kissed him on the cheek. They let go of each other and Robert led Sophie over to his table. While they were walking, Robert asked "So what brings you here to America?" Sophie blushed and knew this was going to be a stupid answer. "Well actually-"

"Robert! I see you have someone special with you." said Jonas and looked at Sophie. "Jonas, this is my girlfriend Sophie Neveu. Sophie, this is my editor Jonas Faukman." said Robert. "Nice to meet you." said Sophie. Jonas blushed. "Do you mind if I can talk to Robert for just a minute?" Jonas asked. "Sure?" said Sophie, a bit confused. Jonas grabbed Robert's shoulder and turned around away from Sophie. "So Robert. How did you get this woman? I mean, her accent sounds French." asked Jonas, very curious about Robert's love life. "Jonas, she is French. Now may you stop asking questions and leave me alone?" said Robert, always frustrated when Jonas asks him about his personal life. Robert turned around and went over back to Sophie. "Now, let me escort you to your table." said Robert and grabbed her hand. "Very romantic, Mr. Langdon." answered Sophie. Robert cringed at the way it had sounded.

When they arrived at the table, Robert took out a chair for Sophie and sat down. "Robert, who is your little friend over here?" asked William. "This is Sophie Neveu." said Robert. "It's a pleasure to be here in this party." she answered. "I assume you are going to bring her on the trip?" asked Linda. "What trip?" asked Sophie. "Sophie, I guess you came to me on the right day. I won two airline tickets to San Francisco and I didn't know who to bring until you walked in." said Robert. Sophie just smiled at him. "Ah, a little romance. Blah!" said Jonas as he came back to the table. Robert looked down at his Mickey Mouse watch and read the time. 8 o'clock PM. "We better get going. Our plane leaves tomorrow at noon." said Robert. Sophie got out of her seat and followed Langdon to the entrance. They left the building and walked into the parking lot. There, Robert led Sophie to his 2003 Toyota Camry. "Where did you leave your stuff?" asked Robert, curious even if she had brought any. "I left it outside your car." she answered. Robert was surprised. "How did you know if this was my car?" asked Robert, now stunned. "It was strange. Some girl showed me your car. She also said she would watch my bags for me." she said. At that instant, Robert heard a giggle somewhere around the parking lot. "Do you hear that?" Robert asked all of a sudden. "No. Why?" asked Sophie. "Never mind." he said and opened the car. Sophie opened the trunk and placed her belongings there and went inside the car. She sat at the front passenger seat and put on her seat belt. "So, Robert. I guess you and I are going to San Francisco." she said. Robert turned on the engine and smiled to her. "Yeah. I guess you are excited huh?" he asked and started to drive. "Of course I am. To tell you the truth, this is my first time in America." said Sophie. "Well, then. I guess I just have to say 'welcome to America'." answered Langdon.

15 minutes later the couple arrived at a town house. The building looked new and big. They parked up at the driveway and got out of the car. Sophie opened the trunk again and got out her bags. Robert opened the door and went inside, followed by Sophie. "Wow." was the only word she said. "What is it?" asked Robert. "It's so nice in here. This beats the heck out of my apartment." she said. Inside the town house was contemporary furniture, a flat screen TV, the kitchen, the bathroom, and master bedroom with its own bathroom. "You can go put your stuff inside my bedroom. I'm going to sleep outside on the sofa." said Robert. "You don't have to Robert. You can sleep with me on your bed." said Sophie. Robert felt like he just got knocked off. Did Sophie knew what she just said? "Are you sure it's okay?" asked Robert, now confused. "It's okay." she said and went inside the room. Robert just stood there in living room all by himself. Oh crap. Robert went inside the room and found Sophie already in her pajamas. "Geez, you change fast." said Robert. "It's just a woman's thing." said Sophie and went inside the bathroom to brush her teeth. Robert also changed into his pajamas and laid down on the bed to wait for Sophie so he could use the bathroom. When Sophie got out of the bathroom, Robert went in and also brushed his teeth. When he was done he found Sophie already sleeping and laid down next to her. "Good night Robert." said Sophie all of a sudden as she opened her eyes to check on Langdon. "Good night Sophie." he answered and the two of them went to sleep, for tomorrow they will be heading to San Francisco.
