“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.
