Inside the Burke Estate.

Sophie sat by the bedroom window, staring out at the view. She'd been there for a good hour.

Colby walked in, noticing Sophie lost in thought, and wrapped his arms around her from behind.

"Thinking about James?" he whispered.

Sophie snapped back to reality and playfully poked Colby's head. "James? No way! I'm thinking about the mastermind behind all this!"

"Isn't that just another way of thinking about James?" Colby teased, a hint of jealousy barely detectable in his voice.

"I can think without mixing personal feelings!" Sophie leaned back into Colby's embrace. "Colby, do you think the person behind this is someone we know?"

"I don't know," he replied.

"They know us so well, and they've never slipped up. No one's ever seen them, not even their own people."

"Overthinking won't help," Colby said, holding her tighter. "I won't let them hurt you."

Suddenly, a loud commotion erupted outside.
