Sienna glanced at his serious mug, worried he’d get all moody again. She was still kinda turk with him for now. So she reached up and hooked his pinky with her.  Josiah squinted at her. “What’s the deal?  “Check this out, Sienna said, pointing at her plate.

It was a text from Sienna: Stop staring. En outta here. It was followed by an email of someone running away. Josiah looked back in the mirror, but Sienna had already turned the corner, gone just like the emoji.  Josiah chuckled, shaking his head. How did she manage to be so damn charming! She was already gone, but he was still all keyed up, itching for  imore  Two days later, around lunchtime, Sienna had just tucked Joyce into bed and was about to head out when her phone buzzed. It was jouah. She asked, “Hey, you wait for me already?”  Josiah sighed, “Man, something’s popped up. I won’t make it by noon. I’m thinking I’ll roll in around evening. But don’t sweat it.

And since she w sorta leveraging Josiah for her own schemes, she figured she owed him thn our  She glanced at the clock, grabbed her backpack, and headed to Lyceum Street a bit early. Right on cue, Zaid palled up.  “Hey, Sienna,” Zaid said with a smile, holding the car door open for her. “Sorry to keep you hanging. Hop in”  “No worries, Zaid” Sienna said, sliding into the car.  Zaid took off, driving her to Westway Road. That was where the Flynn family usually picked up their fancy duds for events like this from the local shops  Inside the shop, the clerk was looking all sorts of uncomfortable talking to Yvette. “Ms. Young, this dress amt for sale. Fm really sorry!  Yvette just gave a nonchalant shrug. “Not for sale” Big deal. It’s still hanging up, ain’t in Means its owner hasn’t claimed it yet.
