The next day, the homeroom teacher called in a parent again. This time, it was James who showed up.
The teacher spoke with genuine concern, "Mr. James, it seems Sophie didn’t finish her homework yesterday. I understand she's staying with you now, right?"
James glanced over at Sophie, who looked completely uninterested, her gaze lost out the window.
"Yes," he replied.
"Mr. James, I know we’re in the 21st century and all, and we’re a bit more open-minded these days, but Sophie is still underage. Her main focus should be on her studies, not on a romantic relationship, so..."
The teacher hesitated, feeling a bit awkward about the topic. It's not every day you hear about a high school junior with a fiancé, let alone living with one. Who knows what folks might say?
"I'll make sure she gets her homework done. Thanks for looking out for her," James replied.
He turned to Sophie and said, "Grab your backpack. We're heading home."
James's tone was so firm that the teacher quickly interjected, "Mr. James, our school doesn't tolerate any form of domestic violence. She just missed an assignment. As long as she gets it done, there's no need for anything extreme."
"When did I ever say I was going to use violence?" James retorted, causing the teacher to awkwardly clear their throat.
"You just look so stern; the teacher's worried you might blow a gasket," Sophie chimed in with a cheeky grin.

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.
