Colby’s face was a mask of indifference as he spoke in a calm, almost detached voice, “I’ve got nothing to explain.”
“Fine!”
Odie turned to Griffin, his voice sharp, “You hear that? After all these years, it’s done. The last time I helped you was the last time. From now on, you walk your path, and I’ll walk mine. Today marks the end of the road for the three of us. Once we wrap things up here, I’m heading back to Summerfield. Whoever tries to reach out first is the loser.”
Odie scooped up the tie from the ground and stormed out of the Burke Estate without a backward glance.
Sophie wanted to step in and explain, but Colby grabbed her wrist, gently shaking his head. He didn’t want to explain. The past was just that—the past. He wanted to keep Griffin and Odie out of what was coming next.
“Colby, some things need to be cleared up,” Sophie said softly. “You can’t just decide to end relationships on your own.”
She gently patted the back of Colby’s hand. With his eyes cast down, Colby silently let go of her hand. Sophie dashed out. She knew Colby wasn’t one to mince words. He did what he did and never felt the need to explain himself. If he wouldn’t explain, she’d do it for him.
Outside the Burke Estate, Odie was already in his sports car. Just as he was about to hit the gas, Sophie ran up, causing Odie to slam on the brakes.
Seeing this, Odie quickly unbuckled his seatbelt, flung open the car door, and approached with a dark scowl, “Sophie! Are you crazy? Who told you to run out in front of a car like that?”

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....
