"Hey Jenna, when did that kidnapping happen that you were talking about?"
"Hmm, let me think... it must've been over ten years ago. I was about to graduate from elementary school, so I was around twelve, I think?"
"So, Jenna, that would make it sixteen years ago?"
"Yeah, roughly!"
Sophie was doing the math in her head.
Sixteen years ago... If Gordon and Jenna were the same age, that means he was also twelve back then. Thinking about a twelve-year-old going through something like that was just heartbreaking.
"Alright, enough chit-chat. I'm gonna slap on a face mask and get my beauty sleep."
Jenna stretched and yawned, pretending she was about to leave.
Out of nowhere, Sophie said, "Jenna, where are you sleeping tonight?"
"Where else? My own room, of course!" Jenna replied, flustered. Sophie blinked and said, "I mean, since Colby's not coming back tonight, why don't we have a sleepover?"
Realizing her misunderstanding, Jenna quickly tried to hide her embarrassment. "Oh, I thought you were hinting at something between me and Adler..."
"I didn't say anything. If you know, you know," Sophie replied with a teasing look.
Adults, right? Impulsive moments happen. But sleeping with your brother's friend? That’s crossing a line.
Jenna's face turned as red as a tomato. "Sophie! I thought you were this quiet, well-behaved girl. How could you... how could you think such dirty thoughts!"
"Quiet and well-behaved? That's never been me. Maybe you should rethink your description?" Sophie shot back.
Blushing deeply, Jenna said, "Forget the face mask! Time to sleep!"
Just as Jenna was about to climb into Sophie's bed, a hand suddenly grabbed her from behind.

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free. More about what’s up with Gordon....
Excellent novel!...
