Skyler knew he was, but she had to bite her tongue. When they’d gotten out of the car earlier, Zavier had made her promise not to spill the beans about their complicated connection.
“You know, he’s from a whole other world,” she said to Vivian. “Don’t get your hopes up.”
Vivian glanced back wistfully where Zavier had vanished. “Skyler, I’m so jealous of Desiree. To have a guy like Zavier, who’s not only a total stud but also fiercely loyal.”
