“Me? Faking an accident?!” Sienna’s voice shot up an octave. Queenie, noticing the commotion, excused herself from her group and made her way over.

“Queenie’s coming,” whispered a friend at Sienna’s side.

For a split second, Sienna panicked. She glared at Alessia and Liam, clutching her dress as she tried to make a quick exit.

“Do you want me to buy you a brand–new one, exactly the same? Or… I mean, you don’t look like you can afford it–maybe cash would be better?” Alessia called after her, sugar–sweet and innocent as could be.

“No need!” Sienna hissed, practically spitting the words out through clenched teeth. She shot Alessia a murderous look, spun on her heel, and stormed off–only to trip as her high heel caught on the step. She stumbled, nearly falling, her face turning bright red.

Her friends hurried after her, but Sienna kept her head down and didn’t look back, practically fleeing the scene in a flustered, undignified rush.

By the time Queenie arrived, all she saw was the back of Sienna’s head as she disappeared in a hurry. Queenie turned her attention back to Liam, nodding a quick hello.

Liam nodded back, ruffling Alessia’s hair. “I’ll head over for now, but don’t leave yet. I’ll give you a ride home later.” He’d met Sienna during work events–he knew full well how she and Alessia were connected.

“Got it,” Alessia replied, waving him off.
