Chapter 224

---- On the last day of May, Thalia flew to New York. She had previously met a young woman when she rented an apartment there after running away from home following a family dispute. The woman's name was Manon Yates. She lived across the hall from Thalia, worked in sales, had a vibrant personality, and was naturally friendly and outgoing. Thalia remembered the day she'd forgotten her key and called the landlady, who said she was picking up her daughter from school and asked Thalia to wait.

"Yes, the landlady has a spare, but she's busy and asked me to wait half an hour." Manon offered, "Would you like to wait in my place?" ---- They had similar work schedules and saw each other almost daily.
