What’s that scent on her ? How can it smell so good ? Josiah wondered .

“ Sienna , ” he began , trying to suppress the peculiar pull he felt .

“ What perfume are you wearing ? ”

“ Huh ? ” Sieniu froze for a second .

“ Perfume ?

Her lips curled slightly , almost imperceptibly .

She could barely afford shampoo , let alone perfiune .

“ I’m not wearing any , she replied matter – of – factly .

It’s probably just the smell of my shampoo ”

Once the Betadine dried , she carefully applied a bandage to the wound ..

“ All done ,” she said , letting go and tidying up before heading to throw away the trash .

“ Oh .

” Josiah muttered , nodding .

For reasons he couldn’t explain , he felt a faint wave of disappointment .

They left the pharmacy , and it was already late .

Zast drove them back to Lyceum Street , and Josiah got out to walk Sienna up to her apartment .

“ Gel sine rest .

Josiah said , stopping at the door but not entering .

“ Okay ,” Sienna replied , gesturing at the boxes on the floor .

“ Thanks ”

Although she could’ve bought them herself by queuing all night , saving this much money was undeniably thanks to him .

“ Aren’t you going to invite me in ? ” Josiah asked , a mischievous glint in his eye .

“ I had a bit to drink tonight , and I’m thirsty ”

Caught off guard , Sienna hesnated .

She felt awkward refusing after what he’d done for her .

To her surprise , though , he didn’t step in uninvited .

well … Sienna moved aside .

“ Come in for a glass of water , then

She didn’t own a water dispenser , so getting a drink meant boiling water .

As Sienna filled the kettle at the sink , disaster struck .

The faucet suddenly broke off , and a torrent of water shot out , drenching her completely .

“ Ah ! ” Sienna screamed , startled

“ What happened ! ” Josiah jumped in alarm , spinning around to see her soaked and disheveled .

Without hesitation , he rushed over to help .

In the process , he too was hit by the spray , ending up as drenched as Sienna ,

Josiah wiped water from his face with a hand , glancing at the drencied woman in front of him .

He quickly grabbed her and pulled her aside .

“ Why are you just standing there ? Move ! ” he barker , positioning himself in front of her ,

the water , the full force of the spray now soaked him instead

From behind him .

Sienna watched guiltily .
