"Thank you, Lila. I love you, and you are a great friend, but you're the

only one who sees my beauty, other than my dad." "Skye does, as well,” she says. “You, Skye, and my dad,"

Maybe the number will be disconnected and all of this is a bad dream.

“Hello.” There’s a soft, stilted voice on the other end. “Remington?” "Hey, Karen," I say and close my eyes. Darkness envelops me, and I can

hear the sound of the desktop purring. "I was wondering when you'd call." "Sorry abou...
