Facing Sophie’s questions, Odie shifted uncomfortably and muttered, “Sophie, are you interrogating me?”
“How could I be?” Sophie replied with an innocent look. “But Mr. Odie, you should know Lennon gave me all these men. And he hasn’t left Summerfield yet. With his temperament, if he finds out Colby got hurt because of the Minton family, he won’t let it slide.”
“Should I be afraid of him?”
“Of course not, which is why I’m here talking with you, right?” Sophie propped her chin on her hands, giving him a look that made it clear she was fine with whatever he decided to say, or not say.
Odie squirmed under her gaze and said, “Elodie wants to team up with me.”
“Team up for what?”
“Never mind what for, but I haven’t agreed.” Odie glanced at Sophie and continued, “I turned down Griffin, and then Griffin said he wanted to meet Colby. Back in the day, Colby threw Griffin into the sea. That’s a score Griffin wants to settle. I’m just making an introduction, nothing more.”
“Colby... threw Griffin into the sea? And he survived?”
“How would I know? The world’s a strange place. Griffin was just lucky.”
“Lucky?” Sophie chuckled at Odie’s logic. “Seriously, that’s the Pacific Ocean. If someone tossed you in, you might not make it either. If Colby really wanted Griffin dead, wouldn’t it have been simpler to finish him off with a knife first? Yet Griffin’s alive and kicking, even strong enough to come after Colby.”
Odie frowned, “So you’re saying...”
“I’m saying Colby let him go on purpose. He let you go on purpose too, back then. Can’t you see?”
Odie’s frown deepened. “Sophie, stop making excuses for Colby. He’s a ruthless guy who’ll do anything to get what he wants!”
“Sure, he’s ruthless, but he’s not a scoundrel.” Sophie stood up and said, “I don’t want to meddle in your feud, but one thing: don’t hurt Colby.”

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!...
