“The weather inchanging. Please remind Sebastian to wear an extra layer,” she said.
Celeste replied warmly, “I will, Ms. Sandwerg. You should take care of yourself im
After hanging up, Celeste turned to glance at the backseat

Eliza Minked. “Tour? We’ve only ever hired two for business trips before. It’s not as if Walden is a city with high er ime rates.”
