EuropeNovelChapter 1488
Colby went quiet for a bit. Sophie caught a glimpse of his eyes in the rearview mirror and said, "I'm not asking
you, but | want to hear it from you, not through the grapevine."
With that, Sophie shut her eyes, cutting off any further chat with Colby. He furrowed his brow, his eyelashes
giving a tiny, involuntary flutter at her words. He wanted to speak up. Every single moment, he wanted to lay it
all out. But he was scared... scared that Sophie might not accept him for who he really was.
The night grew darker. Kiran, after patching up the wound on his shoulder, knocked on Sandy's door. A grumpy
voice cfrom inside: "I'm asleep!"
"If you're asleep, then I'll cby another day," he teased, pretending to walk away. In an instant, Sandy swung
the door open, her face a mix of annoyance: "What do you want?"
"Sophie and Colby have taken off."

"I know!"
"You do?"
"Obviously! Who is Colby? No way could you just nab him like that."
Kiran raised an eyebrow, "You think I'm not as capable as Colby?"
"Yep!
"You really are... my dear sister."
Sandy's eyes immediately caught the wound on Kiran's shoulder. With a hint of hesitation, she asked, "Brother,
your shoulder..."
"It's a through-and-through, nothing too serious."
Kiran gave Sandy's forehead a gentle tap, saying, "Our Sandy's got a heart now, caring about her brother. I'm
touched."
"Who said | care about you! You had it coming! You hit Sophie before, and Colby isn't one to let that slide. Who
knows what he'll do to you later!"
"He's got his own mess to handle, no tto deal with me."
"What?"
Sandy sensed something was amiss. Kiran didn't want to drag her into it, so he changed the topic: "If Colby does
cafter me, let him. Only he's got the guts for it." "Brother! Can't you just..."
"No."
Kiran shut it down with a firm no. Right then, a maid was wheeling a cart down the hallway. Kiran motioned for

milk for you. Drink it and get srest. Tomorrow, we'll hit the shops and grab sthings you like. You'll be
staying here for a bit, and we can't have our little princess feeling left out."
"I've got more than enough stuff! | don't want to go shopping."

Sandy's mind was consumed with finding a way to mend the rift between Kiran and Sophie, leaving no room for
retail therapy. Hearing her protest, Kiran raised an eyebrow, "Our little princess isn't into shopping anymore? You
used to love blowing cash on the latest bags, shoes, jewelry, and plush toys... Lost interest?"
"Totally! Spending money is the dullest thing ever!"
The trip to Devonport had opened Sandy's eyes. She'd stepped out of her sheltered bubble and faced real
dangers. Now, she realized just how naive she had been. Before, Sandy thought the world outside was call
sunshine and rainbows, but after facing so many perils with Sophie and the others, she understood how shielded
she had been by her family.
