“Sienna,” Josial said, rubbing his forehead and looking at her nervously. “You’ve got it all wrong. I don’t know why Yvette would say that…”

“Listen up; it’s not happening” Sienna said, cuiting him off with a sneer. “It’s been four years. Do you think I’m still that easy to fool? You can’t trick me anymore.”

“Sienna, I really didn’t, Josiah explained, feeling helpless, “What can I do to make you believe me?”

At his words, Sienna’s back stiffened. After a moment of silence, she slowly turned to face him. She spoke, each word deliberate, “Yes, I dislike you, and I hate you

Taking a deep breath, she continued, “I wouldn’t have said this if you hadn’t asked. You’re a powerful Flynn, and with just one word, you could have sent me packing from River City, I spent four years abroad, away from everything I knew”

Seeing Josiah’s face pale, she added with a hint of mockery, “Surprised? Did you really think I’d be grateful to someone who drove me away and then ignored me for years?”
