The warm, thick blood, the cold scalpel, and the smell of disinfectants—she felt as if she had once again brushed shoulders with death.
"Having a nightmare?" Beside her was Colby's deep voice.
Only then did Sophie realize she had been leaning on Colby's shoulder. "I fell asleep," Sophie said, her eyes filled with exhaustion.
"The surgery isn't over yet," Colby said calmly. "I'll take you home. I have people here watching over things."
Sophie shook her head. "I'm worried about Uncle Perry. He's the only family I have left in this world."
Colby tapped Sophie's forehead lightly. Rubbing the spot, she asked, "What’s that for?"
"Go back and rest. I'll bring you back here early in the morning."
"But—"
"You being here won't change anything. Mr. Perry will need rest after the surgery anyway."
"But—"
"No arguing with me."
Colby's tone was firm, and Sophie knew that he was already being gentle with her.
"Okay, let's go back."
Sophie followed Colby to the car, but they didn't head toward the Russell residence. They were on the way to the Costello residence instead. Sophie said, "I can go back to my place."
"My house is closer to the hospital. It'll be more convenient to head back in the morning." Colby gave Sophie a casual excuse.

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....
