Things are going nicely for Sam right now. You could even say he's riding on the crest of a wave. The night after his band's first successful gig, making inroads with Ellie, a new car. Finally a sexy encounter with the attractive married woman next door in her hot tub, better still, gaining the advantage over her husband and getting away with it. All profoundly important things for a teenager to boast to his friends. Starting with practically no experience, he's suddenly full of boyish confidence with little to lose and all to gain.
Consequently, the meeting between Sam and Sophia tomorrow should be interesting. It would be good to read more speculations from other readers, particularly from a woman's perspective.
It's likely Sophia will be sensible and stand-offish at first, but arriving fresh from Aiden's 4th task and the side job may well have aroused her to the point of weakness should Sam make a strong enough pass, or is able to charm her without the seductive effects of alcohol during daytime. His best move might be to play on Sophia's natural sense of curiosity regards Ellie, creating a sense of rivalry between Sophia and her daughter to capture Sophia's attention and envy against the unattainable youth of a girl half her age. As in,
"Sam, what's Ellie got that I haven't?".
Looking at Sophia's expression as she pulled up in the car with Liam at the close of the evening, Sam shouldn't have to work too hard. Next, how likely is it that Amber will catch or spy on Sophia and Sam together during this scene?
Depending on which route is taken (with Dylan returning from boarding school) this could also be a very important day in Dylan's coming of age. Be patient if you can, I'm sure L&P has much planned for this next update.
