Chapter 205
Elliot was in the midst of a typical day of kindergarten when the smartwatch in his pocket buzzed, with
a squint, he excused himself and headed to the bathroom.
His attention had always been on Tarquin and people around Tarquin, making it easy for him to spot
when Gideon reached out.

our sincerity. Please check it
