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

Sienna replied , frowning .

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 .
