Rhoda’s heart dropped. The people they had diligently courted at lunch were now currying favor with the Scott

Her frustration was palpable as she pinched Coen’s nose, which, surprisingly, roused him. His eyes fluttered

“Haven't you been paying attention to the gossip | share with you? Do you not remember Norah Wilson?
Madeline was the one who wrecked Norah and Derek’s marriage. Now, Norah is with Sean, Susanna’s brother.
And Coen and Rhoda are Madeline's parents. You went ahead and introduced them! Norah was kind enough not
to quarrel with you.”
It was a mistake only her husband could make.
Everett suddenly realized why Norah’s nrang a bell. He had subconsciously picked up on the gossip about
her.
