Jonah tossed a trout onto the cutting board with a thud.
Sophie saw the fish and couldn't help but chuckle. "What's this? The Minton family run out of chefs?"
"We've got chefs, but none who can make trout soup."
"Can't make trout soup? What kind of chefs are those?"
"Ms. Sophie, I'll be back in half an hour. Thanks."
With that, Jonah left the kitchen without another word to Sophie.
Sophie stared at the trout on the board, feeling a bit exasperated for the first time.
After a while, Jonah returned, right on cue, and asked how the meal was coming. Sophie handed him the trout soup that had been simmering for twenty minutes. "For your boss. Drinking fish soup first thing in the morning? Watch out for nutrient overload."
"No trouble at all, Mrs. Costello," Jonah replied, his tone deliberately formal.
Jonah took the soup upstairs.
Upstairs, Odie glanced at the fish soup Jonah handed him. "What's this?"
"Ms. Sophie's fish soup."
"Sophie? Made soup just for me?" Odie looked at Jonah, clearly skeptical.
Since when was Sophie so thoughtful?
"Did she... make it for me herself?" Odie asked, still unsure.
Jonah didn't miss a beat. "Yes."
"Well, Sophie does have her moments." Odie didn't even notice the slight smile tugging at the corners of his mouth as he took a sip. The delicious flavor spread quickly.
"It's alright, I guess."
"Right, I'll head out now," Jonah said, turning to leave.
But Odie stopped him. "Thank her for me. Tell her I appreciate it. But making fish soup is too much trouble. She doesn't need to cook for me anymore."

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....
