"...No way," Jonah said. "From what we heard earlier, Sophie likely relapsed on our new drug. Once you try it, you're hooked for good, especially if it's a relapse."
"You're right." Odie picked up the newspaper again. "Sophie’s just bluffing. She’s too proud to admit she can’t kick the habit and too ashamed to ask for help. So, she’s taking the easy way out by coming back on her own."
"Good point, boss."
"Let her stew for a bit. If she asks to see me, tell her I’m busy."
"Got it."
Jonah left the room.
By 8 p.m., the kitchen had prepared dinner and delivered it to Sophie's room.
Sophie watched the spread of dishes on the cart and nodded in approval.
Salmon tartare, cherry foie gras, filet mignon, creamy corn soup...
"Mrs. Costello, here’s your dinner."
"Do you have any lighter dishes? I was hoping for smoked fish, salad, and a couple of veggies burgers. Oh, and I don’t like carrots, but anything else is fine."
"Of course, Mrs. Costello. We’ll get that ready right away."
The maid quickly left, and Jonah, who had seen everything from the doorway, scowled and stopped her. "Who told you to prepare such a lavish dinner for her?"
"Huh?" The maid was taken aback. "Wasn’t it Mr. Odie who instructed us this morning..."
"Leave."
"Sure."

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!...
