Nicole headed straight to Gould Residence after getting off the plane. When she returned, a still silence was hovering over the living room. Several people sat together, but none of them spoke.
Nicole ran inside as soon as she got out of the car. When she arrived, her breathing wasn't steady. She panted heavily, her eyes reddening the instant she saw the man she yearned for day and night.
Seeing how hurt she looked, Rita stepped forward in an attempt to comfort her, asking, "Nicole, are you alright?"
Nicole shook her head and sniffled. In a voice choked with emotion, she replied, "I'm okay, Grandma. Don't worry about me."
Rita took her hand and asked under her breath, "Nicole, what exactly is going on between Colton and Evelyn?"
"Grandma, this is a long story, but it's not what Colton intended. I'll take care of this," replied Nicole in a low, soothing voice.
Hearing her say that, Rita was a little relieved. She nodded without asking any further questions. "Okay, this is your business, so I won't poke my nose into it. That being said, if you have any trouble and need my help, just tell me."
Nicole was moved to see that Rita was determined to side with her. She nodded without saying another word; then, composing her features, she regained her usual composure. Her bright, clear eyes staring at Colton, she slowly called out, "Colton."
Hearing her voice, Colton showed some response; his good-looking eyes flickered and darted toward her.

The readers' comments on the novel: Right Person, Wrong Time
What a waste of reading! This could have been an excellent novel if it hadn't skipped chapters after 531 and then everything is garbled. Get your act together if you still want a reading audience!!!...
