Mommy , are you leaving ? Joyce was unexpectedly considerate .
You c can go do your things , Mommy : III be just fine .
Joyces maturity tugged painfully at Siennas heart , bringing a wave of emotion over her .
Wiping her eyes , Sienna picked up Joyce and held her close .

Has Sienna come out yet ? Sienna ? Rosie was surprised .
She left nearly an hour ago .
Josiah struggled to keep calm .
Do you know where she went ! tat all ; she didnt say when she left .
Rosie shook her head .
Thank you Anytime As Rosie walked away , Josiahs expression darkened .
He pondered , Sienna left ? Where could she go ? Did something happen ! She hasnt told me about anything Checking his watch , he realized it had been ten minutes .
He wondered if she remembered their date tonight .
His eyes turned darker as he dialed Siennas number again .
Unsurprisingly , it went unanswered .
Holding back his frustration , he sent her a message .
Where are you ? Is something wrong ! Should I come get you ! ] Again , his message fell into silence .
The night deepened , and Josiah sat in his car , repeatedly checking his phone no missed calls , no unread messages .
Frustration surged inside him , and he instinctively reached for a sigarette , only to find a box of throat lozenges Sienna had urged him to quit .
smoking for her sake .
Annoyed , Josiah popped a lozenge into his mouth but grimaced .
This was barely acceptable on normal days why does it taste so sweet and cloying today ! And where exactly has Sienna gone ! time passed , Josiahs irritation He was here sucking on this sickly sweet lozenge because of her , yet she had ignored their date without a word .
As tir slowly turned into worry .
Before , Sienna had faced a creepy taxi driver and had been kidnapped just days ago .
Josiah began to fear that something had happened again .
Nervously , he dialed her mumber over and over .
Yet , still , no answer .
Sienna Pick up Dark thoughts clouded his mind .
If he couldnt reach her soon , he might have to call the police .
At the hospital , Joyces IV had finished administering medicine , and she had peacefully fallen asleep .
Tara , lowering her voice , said .
You must be exhausted .
You havent eaten since earlier .
Ill stay here go get something to eat Okay .
Sienna nodded as she grabbed her bag from the bedside table .
By habit , she pulled out her phone and was shocked .
There were an astounding 97 missed calls and over 99 unread messages all from Josiah .
Sienna felt a surge of panic and remembered their date .
Tara , I need to leave Joyce in your care , I have something urgent to handler Alright As Sienna rashed out , she dialed Jouahs number .
On the other end .
Josiah answered right away , his voice low and filled with both anger and worry .
