The coastal wind was fierce that day. Sophie plopped herself down by the beach, taking it all in. While Odie went off to grab some drinks, he thoughtfully brought back a bottle of soda for Sophie. The sea breeze played with her hair, and Odie couldn't help but admire her—perfect from every angle. No wonder Colby was smitten at first sight. It was definitely her charm.
With that in mind, Odie took a swig of his beer. Sophie, clutching her orange soda, cast a curious glance at the beer in his hand.
"Want to give it a try?" Odie teased, waving the beer around playfully. As Sophie reached out, he pulled it back with a smirk. "Ladies should stick to lighter stuff."
Sophie could only sigh, "I've never had alcohol."
"Gordon won't let you?"
"Yeah!"
"Sounds a bit overprotective."
"He's just looking out for me," Sophie explained. "My family spoils me, treats me like a kid. But I'm in college now; I can handle myself. I want to try adult things."
"Adult things, huh? Didn't peg you for a rebel," Odie chuckled.
"It's not that crazy. I just want to travel alone, try a beer, maybe hit up a dance club or sing at karaoke all night."
"Oh," Odie replied, a bit surprised. "What did you think I meant?"
Odie looked away, trying to play it cool. "That's nothing. If you want, I can show you the ropes."
"But aren’t those places a bit sketchy?"
"Scaredy-cat, and you want to be an adult?" Odie teased, standing up. "The grown-up world isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. You should just head home and sleep it off."
"Hey! Don’t leave!" Sophie called, grabbing his sleeve.

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.
