Odie's face darkened for a moment as he snatched the candy wrapper from Sophie's hand and tossed it into the trash. "He's just talking nonsense," he said.
Sophie's lips curled into a slight smile. Clearly, his sweet tooth was a well-kept secret no more.
"Eat if you want, spit it out if you don't," she quipped, turning on her heel to leave Odie's room.
Out of nowhere, Odie called after her, "Thanks."
"Hmm? For what?" Sophie paused, glancing back to see Odie looking away. "I don't repeat my compliments," he muttered.
"I know exactly what you meant," Sophie replied, waving her hand as she headed out. "The candy was a little souvenir from the plane. Help yourself if you want more."
In a quick move, Odie tossed a pillow her way. But Sophie was too quick; she was already out the door before it could reach her, the pillow hitting the door with a soft thud.
Outside, Harold had prepared a special room for her, one she and Colby hadn't used before. Sophie smiled appreciatively. "Thanks a lot for this."
Harold hesitated briefly. "What if Colby actually shows up…"
Sophie chuckled softly. "We'll cross that bridge when we get there."
"Get some rest. If you need anything, just holler."
"Don't worry, I'm not shy about asking," Sophie assured him with a grin.
"Alright then."
Once back in her room, Sophie finally checked her phone. It was filled with messages from Jenna, checking if she'd made it to Devonport.
Seeing Jenna's concern, Sophie replied calmly: Just arrived in Devonport, all is good.

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....
