The Wrong Woman

Sienna glanced toward the balcony where Daniel was. She couldn't help but rest her chin on her hand, watching him quietly. Emotions began to slowly fill up her heart as she watched him. Daniel went to sit down at the dining table after finishing his call.

After serving Sienna the soup, Daniel said, "Don't blame Gloria. I'm the one who insisted she make more than just one meat and one vegetable dish for you each meal."

"I didn't blame her," Sienna responded as she lowered her gaze. She accepted the soup he offered and said, "Thanks."

His action was touching, and she didn't know how to express it.

After serving himself some soup, he ate gratefully. He softly asked, "Do you have any plans this afternoon?"

"Nope."

"Then spend the time with me."

Sienna was taken aback.

Daniel smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry. I'm just going to bring you to meet my parents."

Sienna responded softly, "Sure."
