Skye was small and petite, with very fair skin and long, thick, straight dark hair. Charlie’s “porcelain doll” nickname referred to that appearance. She was observant, precise, and quietly intense; she and Samuel recognized in each other a tendency to watch a room closely, and she did not allow him to use that attentiveness to hide his own needs.
