"Me?" Sophie pointed to herself, glancing around to find no one else nearby. Clearly, the man in front of her was talking to her.
"Why are you at my house?"
"My house?" Sophie's brain was still catching up when Colby took a step closer. It was a bold move, and his cold, unyielding expression made him seem pretty intimidating.
Instinctively, Sophie stepped back. But Colby wasn't about to let her off the hook that easily and took another step toward her.
"Stop! Don't come any closer!" Sophie felt trapped, her heels pressed against the fountain's stone steps. One more step from him, and she'd be taking an unplanned dip in the fountain.
Don't even ask why she didn't just sidestep; her legs felt like jelly.
Colby seemed to ignore her protests, continuing his leisurely approach.
Perched awkwardly on the steps, Sophie pointed at him, "You, you! I said don’t... Ah!"
Splash.
The sound of water caught everyone's attention inside the ballroom, and they all turned to the windows to see what was happening.
The fountain erupted with a splash that sent water everywhere.
Sophie found herself in the fountain, her makeup and hair a soggy mess. Her face darkened with frustration.
"Sophie!" Harold rushed over from the backyard at the sound of the splash, finding Sophie looking like a drowned rat in the fountain.
Colby, meanwhile, stepped forward and offered Sophie a hand.

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.
