"Sophie, you know..." Jenna started, but Harold cut in before she could finish, "My brother's gone."
Sophie was momentarily taken aback by Harold's words. "He's been in charge of Aldridge Global long enough," Harold said with a hint of detachment. "This time, he decided to leave."
Jenna and Adler remained quiet.
After a pause, Sophie asked, "Did he... mention where he's headed?"
"No," Harold replied. "Maybe he'll go abroad, or perhaps to some quaint little town away from the city. He might just want to live that quiet country life he always talked about..."
"So, he's not coming back to Devonport, is he?"
"That's right."
With Harold's confirmation, Sophie felt a pang of realization. It was all over. Gordon didn't want to stay in this city anymore. But why did he leave without a word? Not even a proper goodbye.
"I still have so many questions for him..." Sophie murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. She vividly remembered everything from her dream. It was so perfect, those memories felt almost real. She longed to see Gordon, ask him about their past, and find out what really happened.
She glanced at the Aldridge Global family crest she held, her eyes clouding with emotion.
Harold, seeing her distress, swallowed the comforting words he was about to offer. Instead, he tried to sound nonchalant, "It's not like we'll never see him again. He just needs some time alone. Who knows... maybe he’ll be back sooner than we think."
Sophie found a bit of solace in Harold's words. He was right. The world is vast, but if you really want to see someone, you'll find a way.

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.
