Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Sophie knew deep down that she didn't want Colby to hide things from her. But she wasn't stupid.

What Gordon had hinted at earlier was practically spelling it out for her. Colby's grip on Sophie's hand tightened, his voice low and serious, "I love you."

Those three simple words didn't roll off his tongue as smoothly as they used to.

Colby gently stroked Sophie's hair, saying, "Don't overthink this, just give me some time, okay?" There was a touch of pleading in his voice.

"Absolutely not!"

"Am I not your first?"

"You're the one and only."

"Have you done something against your principles?"

"No."
