    "Joan Belle," Monica muttered. She scoffed and added, "This was the same woman he said, he would get over, and now, with just by the mention of her name, he rushed outside without thinking twice."She sat in the lobby, waiting for Cole's return. The next thing she heard was Cole, asking for a set of towels."Can I have towels, please!" Cole said, calling from outside the entrance of the hotel.It took a few minutes for a hotel staff to come running back with several towels. Cole did not mind himself and just took off Joan's coat.
