Chapter 8 Summary

On a run to clear his head, Holder encounters Sky near his home, also running. At first she is suspicious of seeing him, then he reminds her that she is the one near his house. He goes inside to get her some water, then returns and offers to run home with her since she has run further from her house than she originally thought. When Holder notices a bruise on her left eye, he asks if someone is hurting her, thinking it might be Grayson. She says that the bruise was from a fall after a nap. Holder insists on running home with her then. Once they arrive at her house, she tells him that her mother doesn’t allow her to have a phone or watch television. She has no social media accounts. As they make plans to run the next morning, Sky faints and Holder rushes to her aid, carrying her inside where he encounters her mother. Embarrassed, Sky awakens to Holder and her mother urging her to eat and drink. In an effort to see her again, Holder convinces her mom that Sky is unable to run alone because she could faint again.
