See you then!"The line went dead as Emmi hung up the phone, she was giddy withexcitement. Owen was a bit confused to what he had just agreed to, St.Kanica was one of the fanciest restaurants in all of Crimson City. Ifyou weren't making over six figures a year, then you weren't "fit" tobe at St. Kanica. This meant he and Riley would. My skin also seemed a bit smoother and darker.

Now Violet had absolutely nobody."Come on kid, I'll buy you some ice cream," Darren said to her, as they walked to the car.He drove while Violet sat next to him in the passenger seat.
