Sophie stole a glance at Colby and asked, "What's up? You seem a bit on edge."
"Nothing," Colby replied, eyes fixed on the road.
After a pause, Colby broke the silence, "Is Griffin coming too?"
"Maybe. Griffin is Elodie's bodyguard, so it's pretty normal for him to tag along, right?"
"Then I'm coming too."
Hearing this, Sophie put her phone down, raised an eyebrow, and teased, "You're not worried Griffin's gonna spill the beans about your childhood mishaps, are you?"
"I have no embarrassing stories."
"Right, you still haven't shared much about your childhood. All I know is you went overseas and became Mr. Elwood's go-to guy, working with Odie and Griffin. But what about before that? You never mention those days."
Suddenly, Colby braked hard, almost causing Sophie to knock her head, but he quickly reached out, shielding her forehead just in time.
Sophie's heart skipped a beat, and as she looked up, she caught the worry etched on Colby's face.
"You okay? Let me check."
Colby gently examined Sophie's forehead, but she shook her head, "I'm fine. That cat darting onto the road was just unlucky timing."
"As long as you're alright."
Colby gave Sophie's head a gentle pat and said, "Let's keep going."
As night settled in, the living room was softly lit by a single dim lamp. Colby lounged on the couch, the cigarette in the ashtray long extinguished.

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.
