Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert)

Chapter 204

She couldn't think of anyone whose initials were LH.

Racking her brain, she finally said, "Mom, could you keep an eye out for me? Next time they have one of their gatherings, you've got to let me know."

Naomi didn't agree right away, her voice betraying her unrest, "Sylvia, what exactly are you planning to do? Haven't you always wanted to keep your distance from Bridget and her clique?"
