She forced a small, polite smile and greeted them, “What a coincidence. Are you here for dinner too?”

When the light turned green, Skylar checked on Austin again. He had closed his eyes, resting.

Skylar wondered if she was overthinking things.

Natalie finally snapped out of her daze. ‘Skye, I’ll take Mr. Powell inside
