Fiona, standing nearby, couldn't believe how effortlessly Odie shifted the blame onto her. The valiant figure she once admired in Odie crumbled instantly. He had been the one to suggest school was tedious and had whisked her away in his flashy sports car for some fun.

"Is that right?" she asked.

"Absolutely," Odie replied smoothly. "Has Fiona skipped school again? Lucky for her, I was planning a trip to Devonport this week. I'll get my secretary to book a flight and personally bring her back."

Sophie glanced at Fiona but chose not to reveal Odie's fib. She said, "Alright then, come by tonight. Colby and I have just sorted out some issues with Isaac, and I think... Fiona might actually be glad to see you bring her home."
