Sinbad/Sophie 'cuz revenge is golden: 3, 6, 9 11, 15 (yes I want your take on 3 because yOLO)
3: Which one outlives the other, and how they cope
N years into the future, Sinbad has long but curbed his taste for adventure. Despite his dreams of traveling every country, every city and town of the world, it is now but a farfetched idea from the days of his youth. Now, he has a wife and adorable children to call his own. A family – his dream and his future was here.
After marriage with Sophie and the birth of their first child, Sinbad has decided to relocate the headquarters of his company to Brieve. He makes it a point not to travel as often as he did, but alas, the industry was ever-moving, and Sinbad had to keep up with the times despite his reluctance.
There were many times Sinbad left on his short trips, and every time Sophie was there to bid him journey mercy. All but that one time.
He leaves, missing her taste against his lips, the warmth of her soft curves pressed against his as she enveloped him in a hug, the ghost of her breath against the shell of his ears as she murmured be safe.
The news hits Sophie like a ton of bricks, the broadcasting of an unfortunate technical glitch that resulted in a plane crash. Days passed, and the pale-haired woman spent her days barely holding herself together, despaired at the lack of news.
But no news came. There had been no survivors and Sinbad’s body was never found. The funeral proceeded, insisted by their mutual peers that it was a ceremony more for Sophie and the children. A ceremony for them to grieve in remembrance of her lover, her husband, their father.
Days came and went, each night Sophie retiring into their shared, private chambers had her breathing quicken, her chest tight and tears threatening to flow. The hollow silence, the emptiness and the vacant space next to her as she lay down on the king-sized bed reminded her all too much of his absence.
But she no longer lived for herself. Leaving behind in his death were four children, each one inheriting a dominant feature from their late father. Too young to understand the concept of death and the consequence it brought, they often asked their mother when Sinbad was returning.
Not knowing how to answer them, she merely smiles with a heavy, bleeding heart, keeping herself together from sheer willpower at the prospect of her children.
Sophie passes at a ripe old age, watching her children grow up and thrive, making their marks on the world on behalf of her lover who was unable to do so. Despite the mix of soft sniffles and outward bawling that reached her ears as death came for her, she smiled.
6: How they decorated their bedroom
Having long gotten used to luxury, Sinbad spares no expenses when it comes to refurnishing their new home. He insists on a king-sized bed (while he was not opposed to snuggling on a smaller bed, but he loved space), but that’s about as far as he gets.
Sophie has simpler tastes, taming the wilder side of the trading mogul. The walls painted in a basic moss-green, the drapes matching with the carpets as every inch of the room is decorated impeccably without a single waste of space.
It is rare when either one of them would employ the usage of profanities, but Sinbad does. Especially when he gets drunk. And agitated.
11: What their first impression was of each other
Sophie agrees with the rest of the female population that the man is an incorrigible womanizer and is extremely uncomfortable with his frivolous ways, barely tolerating him.
Sinbad was fascinated with Sophie. Women falling to his charms were but a common occurrence, and he has had more than ample experience in terms of reading body languages and foretelling of situations, but Sophie remained an enigma to what he considered the norm. That, and Sinbad has always liked people with a good head on their shoulders.
15: What they would change about each other
Sinbad practically worships the ground Sophie walks on, thinking her as the definition of perfect ever since the moment he had decided to court her.
Sophie wishes at times that Sinbad would one day quit his womanizing ways.
