James followed Colt's gaze.
The splash of red stood out in the crowd.-
Sophie, dressed in a wine-red evening gown, seemed to captivate hearts with every smile and frown. Cameras from the media swept over her, and for a moment, Sophie was like a superstar walking the red carpet.
'Is that Sophie?'
It took James a moment to recognize her.
Sophie had always preferred light makeup and modest dresses. This was the first time he had seen her dressed so strikingly.
Nichole looked uncomfortable. This was her first encounter with Sophie.
In contrast to Sophie's glamorous allure, Nichole seemed overly plain, like a young student yet to bloom.
"Sophie looks so beautiful." A hint of barely detectable envy laced Nichole's tone.
Sophie had already spotted James and Nichole and walked straight toward them.
Nichole had thought that an unaware Sophie would be awkward and surprised to see her and James together, but Sophie seemed to have known all along, her face bearing a composed smile.
"There’s Mrs. Burke, but who is that lady with Mr. Burke?" whispered some of the media.
Sophie approached and took James' arm, extending her hand to Nichole with a smile, "Hello, you must be Nichole, the student James mentioned. I’m Sophie. You can call me Mrs. Burke."
Nichole awkwardly withdrew the hand holding James' hand and gently shook Sophie’s. "Hello, Mrs. Burke."
The name 'Mrs. Burke' felt like a bone stuck in her throat.

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....
Excellent novel!...
