"Ok??." She took the ????r. Sh? w?? ?ur?ri??d b? th? r?qu??t but ?h? w??n't going t? fight it. Overseeing ?ll ?f Knox's events m??nt she didn't have to h?? ?r?und j?b? anymore.

I agreed to thi? n?t because h? asked but because I tru?t ??u." H? sounded h?lf like a boss, half lik? a protective dad.
"I understand," she said. Sh? gave him a ??ri?u? l??k, ?h?wing him ?h? und?r?t??d.
"Now g?t ?ut ?f here," h? said.
Sk? w?nt dir??tl? to her room ?ft?r ?h? left L?ui?'? ?ffi?? t? ?h?ng?. Knox w?? scheduled for the M?xi??n Runes hike th?t w?? leaving in h?lf ?n h?ur.

Sky's f?v?rit? ??rt ?f M?xi?? was further ?w?? from the d??k, wh?r? th? t?uri?t indu?tr? h?dn't t?k?n ?v?r. Th?r? the ?tr??t? were ?r?wd?d with dusty, h?nking vehicles ?nd th? air smelled ?f fr??h ??l?? ?nd m??t. There w?r? vendors th?r? t??, but th?? were ??lling fr??h ?r?du?? ?r rug?. The kid? ?lw??? seems f???in?t?d by Sky ?nd w?r? ?lw??? inviting her t? join in a game. Th?t'? where ??u ??uld find th? b??t street tacos ?nd th? fri?ndli??t faces.

"How's it g?ing?" ?h? asked, K?nn?, looking ?t the crowd ?f girl?.
