The phone rang, but before she picked up, he heard her ringtone nearby. Following the sound, he walked toward the fire escape and spotted her

“Hello!” Sienna had just answered when the call dropped. “Huh? What’s going on?”

“What’s going on?” Josiah’s voice came from behind her.

Shocked, Sienna turned around. “Why are you here?”

“That’s my question. Why are you hiding here?” Josiah frowned, his handsome face suddenly serious. “Come eat with me. Do you need a formal invitation? Are you a kid?”

She shook her head, insisting. It’s nothing. I really don’t need anything. You all go ahead and est. I have something to cat.”

“What do you…” Josiah trailed off as his eyes landed on the stairs. He noticed her black backpack propped against them, and on top of it, there was a lunchbox
