Caspian: Trying to get eyes on.
He wouldn’t. I was outside his purview, his influence.
Skylar: Bastian, are you okay? I’m sorry for the quiet on my end, I just needed time with everything. It’s been overwhelming and I know it has for you too.
“Dammit.”
I pulled over, then sent a text back.
Sebastian: I know my mom was over there. If that’s adding to it all, forget it. I already know about your mom and my dad.
Caspian: You do?
Caleb: Know what?
Sebastian: Maria and my dad had a thing.
Caleb: Jesus.
Sebastian: It’s old news to me. You reading this Sky? Old fucking news. I don’t give a fuck.
Skylar: Okay, wow.
Sebastian: So?
Skylar: It’s not just about that. Let’s just meet and talk, okay?
Sebastian: What’s this talk for? To end things in person so you can’t be classed as a coward?
Caleb: Let’s take it down, all right?
Caspian: I actually want an answer to that one too.
Sebastian: Well?
Skylar: A step back needs to be taken, yes. But not ending things.
Sebastian: Coward’s way out after all.
Skylar: There’s something I need to do. I can’t do it with the three of you breathing down my neck.
Caspian: What might that be?
Caleb: Jett?
Caspian: You can’t hunt down Jett. He can’t be touched. You’re linked to us now. What you do there will impact us all.
Sebastian: Just let her kill the fucker, then come back to us.
Caleb: You really want our woman to take a life like that? It’ll mess her up.
Sebastian: Whatever.
Caleb: Jesus, you’re fucked-up right now, B. Take it down, all right? Take a beat.
Sebastian: You’re the one taking a beat by leaving us.
Skylar: Caleb’s leaving?
