... I never thought about it that way. But, now that I am, I have to say that an ending like that would be fucking pottery!What surprises me is that Sophie's behavior hasn't had consequences already, and I'm not talking about how she's treating Felix, I'm talking about her students. As someone that worked at a University, showing up to class 20 minutes late multiple times, leaving early and making herself inaccessible to her student would have led to complaints. If not before the end of the semester, definitely on final evals.
She never even attempted to have a review session with students as a cover. A slip of the tongue by any student would have revealed that. I'm kind of surprised Felix didn't ask other students how the review session went . . . not necessarily out of suspicion, but concern about students that overlap her and Felix in the department, such as Jonah.
As for Zach and Sophie I'm surprised there haven't been more rumors among students or efforts by some male students to blackmail her. It's not like she and Zach have been careful at the Frat or anywhere else. It's a small college town, not Ohio State.
At a minimum, she's going to lose her job when everyone finds out she's been sleeping with a student, and it is inevitable it will happen. They aren't being careful at all.
I must say her change in personality has been quite dramatic. She's gone from being a fairly good person, to being cruel, narcissistic, and very self-centered; harming not just Felix, but consistently putting Amy in a bad situation, and abandoning her students.
Because of this, I am honestly wondering whether, when she is found out, will she has some kind of "Karen in the Wild" moment where her new found belief in her own privilege and sense of self-entitlement causes her to have a meltdown in public, insisting she's done nothing wrong. She's pretty much bought Zach's attitude that she is better than everyone else.
Seeing this woman - who's had her ego sent into orbit by an absolute fuckboy who was just using her for fun - have a meltdown when reality comes back to bite her in the ass would be an amazing thing to see.
Then we could get an epilogue where a few years have passed but Sophie hasn't learned her lesson. She's still looking for her happy ending with fuckboy after fuckboy, telling herself that that's the only kind of man 'worthy of her', but she keeps getting pumped and dumped by guys who just tell her what she wants to hear so they can fuck her.
Then, one day, while scrolling through social media, one of her friends shares a post. It's an image of Felix with another woman. He's getting married again. And he looks happy.
Sophie would roll her and eyes and laugh, feeling sorry for the poor woman who's gotten herself stuck in a life with him. Then she'd open a dating app and start swiping, looking for her perfect match. Looking for her 'Zack'.
However, as time goes on and her search continues, she can't help but notice that fewer and fewer men are matching with her. Until, one day, the matches stop entirely as the interest these men once had in her is gone altogether...
This is now the ending that I am hoping for.
Edit: A word.
