On their doorstep was Sophie, nervously fidgiting with a button of her coat as she looked at Vianne and gave her a brief, awkward smile. "Hi," She looked past her into the shop, until her eyes found Roux. "I uhm.. I just came by to see how you were doing." She said, sounding at least a little nervous. "Can I come in?" She asked Vianne.

Vianne had to keep herself from shutting the door with a loud bang. She glanced over at Roux and sighed "..sure.." she stepped aside. "What is it you want? Roux is fine, as you can see" she didn't sound like her usual cheery self.

"Yes, okay. I just.. wondered." Sophie said a little awkwardly. "No trouble with the police, then?"
Roux frowned, the question making him a little nervous. "Why?" He walked over to Sophie, looking closely at her face. "Why are you asking? Is anything wrong? Did you tell them--"
"No! No, no, of course not." Sophie hurried to say. "I just wanted to make sure." She said, admitting between the lines that she was really there for no reason at all. She smiled nervously. "But you are doing well. I can see that now. You look great."
Roux's gaze moved over to Vianne, the awkwardness of the situation not lost on him. "...Sophie," He said, realizing that no good would come from her being there. "You can't keep coming over."
It was silent for half a minute. "I know." Sophie then said, and she bit her lip.
"Right. So you should go." Roux looked at her another while. She looked so fragile, so dangerously close to caving in. He could see the tears behind her eyes, he could see how hard this was on her. But there was nothing good about her presence here. It could only ever mean trouble. Roux sighed, "C'mon.. I'll walk you home." He told her, wanting her out of their house.. but at the same time he wanted to know for sure that this girl (who he once loved) would get home safe and sound.

Vianne gasped a little. There went her night with Roux, all thanks to little miss Sophie. As much as she tried to be a grown up woman about this, she wanted to be a little immature. Roux was running off with his ex girlfriend, who clearly tried to see him for every little stupid reason. She was allowed to be a little bit hypocrite and annoyed about Sophie..right ?
Vianne glanced from Sophie to Roux and shrugged "i'll see you later, please take the key with you" she went into the back of the shop to clean everything. At first she had figured to do it the next morning, but since her plans with Roux suddenly took a turn she now had enough free time on her hands and an slight anger that needed to be cleared.

Roux watched Vianne go, knowing she didn't appreciate this at all. He'd have to try to explain it to her later. With a sigh, he grabbed his coat and keys and walked over to Sophie, "Let's go."
"I'm.. I'm sorry if I upset her." Sophie half-lied in response to Vianne's retreat.
"We'll talk 'bout it on the way." Roux said, opening the door for her. He followed her out, to walk his ex home through the dark streets of Paris.

Vianne started cleaning the worktable of her chocolaterie. It took her a while before it was spic and span but when it was.. the anger had not disappeared with the dirt she had cleaned.

Roux returned home about an hour later. He had tried hard to explain to Sophie that she had to stop coming over - that it only brought them both in danger of being found by the police.. and on top of that, he had Vianne now. He hated hurting her feelings, but he knew that if they wanted a life in Paris, it was their only option. Sophie did act like she understood, but secretly, Roux doubted this was the last they'd see of her.
"Vianne?" He walked into the house, looking for her.

Vianne was in the kitchen cleaning the dishes. She didn´t look up. "Hey.." she mumbled, not sure of what else to say.

"Hey," Roux walked over to her, and put an arm around her from behind. He brushed her hair away from her neck with his other hand, and placed a kiss on the curve near her shoulder. "I'm sorry for leaving." He mumbled, "I just wanted to make sure she got home safe."

"Yes of course.. that was very nice of you" she muttered, not being able to help herself from feeling a bit angry still. This Sophie girl was coming to near, she didn't trust it for one bit.
"..I think the girl still has a thing for you" she said while turning around and leaning against the counter, looking at Roux. It was her second fear, besides Sophie telling on Roux,but if the girl still had a crush on her man than that was something to fear for as well...
