The situation seemed stuck in a loop, leaving Ariana somewhat frustrated. All she wanted was to return a package! There were no hidden agendas on her side. It was puzzling how Holden, who had never acted like this before, was now causing such a fuss.

Then again, Ariana mused, perhaps Sadie’s influence was behind Holden’s odd behavior. Since they got engaged, it looked like Sadie had a firm grip on him. It was almost as if he had mastered the art of evading any suspicion.
