“Does Skylar have other plans?” Daryl conjectured.
Tobias replied plainly, “I have my own arrangements. Just take care of her during this period of time. She’s still young and is bound to make mistakes, so cut her some slack whenever you can.”
Kai felt uneasy bearing witness to Tobias’ affection toward Skylar. He obviously has a wife but he’s still messing around with a young girl.
