Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Sophie and Colby had just dropped Sandy off at the Pollard family home. As soon as they arrived, Sandy spotted Angelo anxiously waiting at the door.

"Brother!"

Sandy rushed over. A spark of joy lighted up Angelo's face. He was about to hug her when he noticed Sophie and Colby standing behind her.

His smile froze, and his outstretched arms hung awkwardly in mid-air.

This wasn't in the playbook! How was he supposed to react to seeing Colby and Sophie?

James! Where the heck are you when I need you?

Sandy, oblivious to Angelo's unease, threw herself into his arms, sobbing, "I thought I'd never see you again!"

With tears streaming down her face, Sandy looked up to see Angelo nervously eyeing Sophie and Colby. She asked, puzzled, "What's going on?"

Angelo snapped back to reality. Seeing his sister's tear-streaked face, he awkwardly shifted her to one side and, in a steady, deep voice, said, "Sandy, we have guests. Mind your manners." Manners? Since when did she ever worry about manners at home?
