Skylar looked befuddled and then she laughed, and laughed so her stomach in an effort to catch her breath

Concern wrapped around Eden’s throat, squeezing her airway tight "Skylar, what is it? Surely it can’t be so bad"
"You shouldn’t know anything about all the crap I just told you Classified All of it That wouldn’t earn me any brownie points for sure with the powers that be But I swear, you’re so down-to-earth and easy to talk to that I findLike we’re BFFs or so, for God’s sake"
