But she couldnt say this out loud .

Where are you ? Sienna pressed her lips , trying to calm him down .

Can we meet and talk , please ? Where am P Josiah let out a self deprecating laugh , answering her question with sarcasm .

What do you think ? They had agreed that he would pick her up from the Lightning Dance .

I see .

Sienna replied , frowning .

Ill come over right away ; please wait for me , okay ? On the other end , Josiah didnt reply .

Once the call ended , Sienna hurried to the Lightning Dance .

When she arrived , she quickly spotted Josiahs car .

Sienna rushed over , pulled on the passenger door , which was unlocked , and slid into the seat .

The wannth of the car surrounded her , and she took a moment to steady her breathing , thinking about how to handle the evening ahead .

I had something urgent come up .

What is that ? Josiah frowned , his eyes darkening with anger .

It was about my roommate ; she needed my help with something This is your excuse ? Josiahs confusion quickly turned to shock .
