The Problem with Money

Skye didn't think for long.

Maybe it was because Pheromone Control had lowered her guard.

Maybe it was because borrowing money wasn't accepting a gift, which meant that Luke didn't want to be her sugar daddy.

Or maybe she was aware that she couldn't be a community volunteer forever.

She needed to make her own way, and she would have to leave sooner or later.

Luke had provided her with a better opportunity and a better environment, which gave her ample time to get things done.

Like he said, she should remember his kindness and return the favor, instead of staying here forever and relying on other people's donations to survive.

After Christmas, Skye would leave the community center, the only place where she had felt safe and warm ever since she was young.

She would go to a school in New Jersey for half a year.

If she worked hard enough, Luke would find a way to send her to a good university.
