Chapter 36

• But once again- wanting to keep up appearances for the sake of him- Leopold simply smiled up at Sophia, admitting defeat, (in the game, that is). "Very impressive, Ms. Sophia, I must admit you are the first to beat me in a game of chess in quite a while."

• His lip quivers. Not because she admitted to writing that message to Regina, because the subject hadn't even come up. That would have given him away, had he brought it up. Besides, after what they had just discussed, it was more than clear to him that she held no interest whatsoever. In his wife, at least. And that's all he cared to know.
