"I think you've really lost it," Joyce said, exasperated. "Is this how you act when love has you all confused?"

Thea wasn't confused by love. Her acceptance of Oliver came with its own considerations. Perhaps Oliver held unexpected truths within him.

"That reminds me one thing. Teri's been screaming to find you ever since she got bailed out," Joyce continued, having been around Key Biskane long enough to catch every bit of gossip. "She was stopped by Aiden, and now the Langstaff Group is almost entirely under his control."

Stephanie was clever. Her hand connected with Oliver's back, enough to hurt him through his shirt but leaving no marks.
