Jenna's voice was loud enough for Colby to overhear. Sophie's face flushed red. She glanced at Colby beside her and asked, "He... prepared a dinner for me?"
"Yes, yes, at the Regent Hotel! Everything's set up already. We're just missing the lady of the evening. Adler and I are here to pick you up. Where are you?"
Sophie covered the phone, whispering, "You arranged something at the Regent Hotel for me?"
Colby shook his head.
Sophie immediately knew this was a surprise Jenna and Adler had prepared on Colby's behalf. "Then... is Colby there?"
Jenna stuttered, "Of... of course, he's at the Regent Hotel waiting for you!"
Sophie couldn't help but say, "Then, if Colby is supposed to be with you, who's this person with me now?"
"What? Colby's with you?"
Jenna jumped, and so did Adler, "What! You two are together?"
Both Adler and Jenna seemed ready to leap out of their car as Sophie heard the sound of an abrupt stop on the other end.
Adler, grinding his teeth with frustration, exclaimed, "Why didn't you tell us sooner? Do you know I spent a fortune to book the entire Regent Hotel for this? You better come back here!"
"Yeah, celebrating without us, that's not cool!"
Though Jenna complained, her heart was already blooming with joy. She had thought her brother was unromantic, only to be pleasantly surprised in the end.
"We should be at the harbor..."
Before Sophie could finish, Colby took the phone, saying indifferently, "We're not coming back tonight. Have fun."
After that, Colby hung up.
Jenna and Adler were left in shock. Adler finally managed to ask, "What does he mean by that?"

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.
