Hera nodded, keeping her head low. She only felt comfortable discussing these
matters with Skadi.
Glancing at the time, Skadi said, “I have to go back to the school. Remember to
try the duck I brought. The flavor is absolutely incredible!”
Hera escorted Skadi to the door and then left in her car. Skadi slowed
