When Sophie blinked her eyes open again, everything around her was a blur. She could just about make out someone sprinting towards her with determination.
"Call an ambulance! Hurry!"
"Separate Gordon and Sophie! Stretcher, now!"
The voices around her started to fade into a distant hum. Cindy’s chatter buzzed incessantly in her ears.
Before she knew it, Sophie was wrapped in a warm embrace. The faint scent of tobacco clung to him, and suddenly, Sophie felt a wave of calm wash over her.
In a soft voice, she murmured, "Colby... I realized today, it's lucky I'm me. Otherwise, I might never have seen you again."
"Don't talk nonsense," Colby replied, holding her tight. "You're not going anywhere. If you keep talking like that, I swear you won't see me when you wake up."
She could feel his heartbeat quickening, his anxiety and fear pouring over her in that moment.
"I don't want... to never see you again," Sophie whispered weakly.
Colby, with urgency, whisked her outside to the Burke Estate and gently laid her onto the stretcher. The evening was drawing close, painting the sky with dusk.
He climbed into the ambulance with her, the beauty of the sunset catching his eye. After all those nights spent stargazing, he realized how stunning a sunset could be.
Was it really over?
Sophie’s breathing hitched, her heart racing faster than usual. Inside the ambulance, William was working frantically to stabilize her.
"She's lost too much blood! We need A-negative blood from the bank, pronto!" he shouted into his phone.
The sounds around her drifted further away, then closer again, as Sophie slipped into unconsciousness.
"Don't be scared, you'll be alright. I'm right here," Colby's voice echoed in her mind.

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.
