‘Is she really this nervous? he wondered. Josiah forced a smile, fastrated. ‘Does Grandma think I am going to do something?”

The atmosphere became tense. Sienna and Cedric exchanged a ook before both stood up.

“Miranda,” Cedric said with a smile, “Thank you for your hospitality tonight, but it’s getting late. Sienna and I will head out now and let you rest.
