When Sheldon saw Skylar checking her bag for a tracker, he put her mind at ease. “Tobias isn’t that ridiculous. He was worried about you staying out alone. Hence, he asked me to come over as I happened to be nearby. When I asked him why he didn’t come himself, he didn’t answer me.”

Skylar recalled the angry words she had for Tobias just now. She yelled at him to stay away and not torment her further.

After Sheldon told her everything he knew, Skylar realized the brothers’ characters were at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Sheldon liked to talk while Tobias was a man of few words. However, whenever he spoke, it would be to devastating effect.

After dropping her off at the school entrance, Sheldon asked curiously, “What is your relationship with Tobias now? I have never seen him so serious about a woman before.”

As dawn broke, the sky began to brighten gradually. The morning air was exceptionally crisp and was moistened by the fresh morning dew.

 

In the face of Sheldon’s nosy gaze, Skylar chuckled. “There’s no relationship to speak of. We aren’t even friends.”

Sheldon shrugged his shoulders. “It’s a fact that both of you are a couple. Or else, Tobias wouldn’t be friends with a girl your age. You’re just too young. What would you even have in common to talk about?”

 

Skylar never saw herself as someone young. Whenever she did a test, the results always showed that she had the mentality of a middle-aged woman.
