Angelo's arrival had thrown her for a loop.
"I'll take that as a compliment, Ms. Sophie."
Kiran, with his hand casually resting on the table, gave the wine glass a gentle nudge and said, "I've got a proposition for the two of you."
"Oh? What kind of proposition?"
Kiran put down his glass of red wine, leaning in a bit, "Hand over Odie."
The smile on Sophie's face faded at those words.
"I heard Odie gave you a tough time back in Summerfield. By all accounts, there should be nothing but bad blood between you two. Handing over Odie shouldn't be that hard for you, right?"
"That must've been ages ago, right?" Sophie stretched out the word 'ages' with a knowing smile, "If I remember right, back in Devonport, we were all strategizing against Joseph. Mr. Angelo, that quirky pajama of yours is still in a room at the Aldridge Estate... I wonder if Mr. Angelo remembers that?"
Kiran's smile vanished, and his eyes turned icy, sharp enough to cut. In that moment, it seemed like he could end Sophie with just a look.
The wound on her shoulder still throbbed, but Sophie had to keep her cool in front of Kiran.
She couldn't figure out what Kiran was up to.
But Gordon used to say, this is how it goes when the strong clash.
It's all about keeping your composure.
If one side falters first, they're pretty much done for.
Sophie couldn't let Kiran see her fear. She held her ground and said, "Seems like you remember, Mr. Angelo. And since you do, you should know I, Sophie, don’t betray my own."

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....
Excellent novel!...
