Yet when Thomas saw her, he didn’t even let her in as he taunted her at the door. “Just seeing your face reminds me of your murderer mother. You two disgust me.”

Thomas then whipped out a stack of cash from his wallet and threw them onto her face. “Take this and leave. And don’t you dare show up in front of me ever again.”

It also happened to be Avery’s birthday that day. She was walking out holding a cake just as Skylar was about to leave.

“Skylar, have some cake before you leave,” she said, acting kind.

But Skylar pushed her aside, and the cake fell to the ground. “Why did you do that?” Avery whimpered.

Young Skylar was freezing from the cold, yet Thomas did not give a tinker’s damn as he booted her in the stomach.

 

With the unpleasant memories flashing before her eyes, Skylar turned off the television.

Skylar and the Joneses were at daggers drawn. Even if she was driven to despair, she had no thoughts of seeking Thomas’ help.
