Zavier spoke with a hint of resignation, "I know."
Cornelia hesitated before asking, "Then you..."
"I won't interfere in her life anymore," Zavier declared firmly, "and you shouldn't let her know I found her."
Cornelia wasn't sure what to make of Zavier's unpredictable nature. Turning to Jeremy, she sought reassurance, "Can I really trust him?"
Jeremy ruffled her hair affectionately, "If he says he won't bother Skyler, he won't."
Jeremy had faith in Zavier's word.d2
Zavier added, "But I have one condition."
Cornelia's anxiety spiked, "What?"
Zavier chuckled at her nervous reaction, "Got you scared there, didn't I?"
Cornelia clenched her teeth in irritation.
"Just kidding, no need to get so worked up," Zavier said, gazing towards the quaint cabin ahead, murmuring to himself, "She's alive. That's wonderful! I get to see her full of life. It's wonderful."
Cornelia's heart, which had been in her throat, finally settled back in its place.
Jeremy wrapped his arm around her, "It's getting late. Do you want to stay with Skyler tonight, or come to the hotel with me?"
Cornelia decided, "Tonight, I want to be with Skyler."
"Then get some rest," Jeremy said, "I'll come for you tomorrow."
"Okay."
...
Cornelia had obligations back in Riverton, so after staying just two days with Skyler, she had to leave.
Hannah was filming in this area, probably staying for another month or two. Whenever she had free time, she would accompany Skyler.
