Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 1714

Sophie gazed at Colby for a moment. That strange feeling bubbled up inside her again, and before she realized it, her hand had reached out and rested on Colby's. With her hand already there, Sophie shrugged it off and said, "Well, since I've got nothing else on today, might as well spoil you a little!"

In the amusement park, plenty of folks couldn't help but glance at Sophie and Colby. They were both so stunning that they drew attention wherever they went. Evening had rolled in, and the two had been having a blast since four in the afternoon, enjoying a solid four hours of fun.

By eight, the amusement park lights began to dim. After hopping off the last roller coaster, Sophie felt a bit woozy and plopped down on a nearby bench. The park was still aglow, casting a dreamy, fairy-tale vibe across the place.

Colby had ducked out to take a call, leaving Sophie alone as everyone else made their way toward the exit. She sat by the carousel, watching as the park's lights slowly faded out. Gordon was still a no-show.

A hint of sadness crept onto her face. Even though hanging out with Colby had been a blast, she couldn't shake off the sting of her brother bailing on her. As the night grew quieter, the sadness settled in.

The fireworks had slipped by unnoticed, and she'd only managed to explore half the attractions. The night air was getting chilly. Finally, even the carousel's lights went out, leaving the park eerily quiet and almost deserted.

Sophie stood up from the bench, lowered her head, and started to head out. But then, the carousel's lights flickered back on. Sophie looked up, surprised. The lights that had dimmed were now lighting up the path ahead.
