Colby's throat tightened, and he reached to cradle the back of Sophie's neck, poised to kiss her passionately. But in a flash of sanity, he restrained the desire evident in his eyes and said in a husky voice, "If you still want this when you're sober, I won’t hold back. But not now."
Sophie looked dazed, and with a swift, practiced move, Colby gently tapped the back of her neck, causing her to faint into his arms immediately. He wrapped Sophie securely in a bath towel and carried her in his arms.
Outside the room, Perry and Jessica were waiting. Perry was clueless about the events unfolding inside, but Jessica looked visibly tense.
Colby emerged from the room carrying Sophie, his gaze icy as it swept over Jessica.
Jessica, frightened, averted her eyes guiltily.
“I will settle this account with you later!” Colby left these words hanging as he hurried away with Sophie in his arms.
Perry was still confused. He glanced suspiciously at Jessica and asked, “What exactly happened here?”
“It’s Colby! How would I know?” Jessica stammered, then quickly turned and walked away.
In the hospital, an IV drip hung from Sophie’s arm. She had been unconscious for over two hours. Her complexion was pale, and she looked extremely weak.
When Sophie finally came around in the evening, she called out hoarsely, "Jenna…"
Jenna, who had been sitting by her side, quickly rushed to her, "You’re awake at last! Are you feeling okay? I’ll call the doctor right away!"

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.
