It wasn't a complete waste because she spent it researching the blue blood families of the city. The Knight and Frost family was right at the top.
Skylar stared at a photo of Jessica Knight. She seemed like a chatterbox with a broken lid. I should have taken Jessica's number. Skylar sighed. She could take a gamble and go to the gym.

Skylar nodded with sympathy.
"You used to call me Lyn when we were kids, do you remember?" Evelyn said with a shaky voice.
Skylar knelt to keep out of sight. "Yes, I remember, and you use to call me Sky, like just now."
