What’s that scent on her ? How can it smell so good ? Josiah wondered .

“ Sienna , ” he began , trying to suppress the peculiar pull he felt .

“ What perfume are you wearing ? ”

“ Huh ? ” Sieniu froze for a second .

“ Perfume ?

Her lips curled slightly , almost imperceptibly .

She could barely afford shampoo , let alone perfiune .

“ I’m not wearing any , she replied matter – of – factly .

It’s probably just the smell of my shampoo ”

Once the Betadine dried , she carefully applied a bandage to the wound ..

“ All done ,” she said , letting go and tidying up before heading to throw away the trash .

“ Oh .

” Josiah muttered , nodding .

For reasons he couldn’t explain , he felt a faint wave of disappointment .

They left the pharmacy , and it was already late .

Zast drove them back to Lyceum Street , and Josiah got out to walk Sienna up to her apartment .

“ Gel sine rest .

Josiah said , stopping at the door but not entering .

“ Okay ,” Sienna replied , gesturing at the boxes on the floor .

“ Thanks ”

Although she could’ve bought them herself by queuing all night , saving this much money was undeniably thanks to him .

“ Aren’t you going to invite me in ? ” Josiah asked , a mischievous glint in his eye .

“ I had a bit to drink tonight , and I’m thirsty ”

Caught off guard , Sienna hesnated .

She felt awkward refusing after what he’d done for her .

To her surprise , though , he didn’t step in uninvited .

well … Sienna moved aside .

“ Come in for a glass of water , then

She didn’t own a water dispenser , so getting a drink meant boiling water .

As Sienna filled the kettle at the sink , disaster struck .

The faucet suddenly broke off , and a torrent of water shot out , drenching her completely .

“ Ah ! ” Sienna screamed , startled

“ What happened ! ” Josiah jumped in alarm , spinning around to see her soaked and disheveled .

Without hesitation , he rushed over to help .

In the process , he too was hit by the spray , ending up as drenched as Sienna ,

Josiah wiped water from his face with a hand , glancing at the drencied woman in front of him .

He quickly grabbed her and pulled her aside .

“ Why are you just standing there ? Move ! ” he barker , positioning himself in front of her ,

With him blocking the water , the full force of the spray now soaked him instead .

From behind him .

Sienna watched guiltily .

“ I – I’m so sorry … ”

“ So , why exactly are you living in a dump like this? Josiah growled , his face dark as thunder.

Every time he opened his mouth to speak , more water splashed in , leaving him sputtering ,

“ You should stop talking , Sienna murmured softly , a hint of amusement in her tone .

Josiah shot her a sharp glare before dragging her out of the bathroom .

Sienna tried to pull away .

“ I need to go downstairs and fix this , ” she said firmly ,

Leaving the water running wasn’t just wasteful .

It would flood her apartment and seep into the downstairs units , bringing angry neighbors to her

door in no time .

Josiah frowned deeply .

“ She’s going to handle it ? How ? he wondered .

“ The shut – off valve is downstairs .

I’ll also need to buy a new faucet , “ Sienna explained , already heading out .

“ Stop right there ,” Josiah grabbed her arm , his expression unreadable , “ What do you think you’re doing ? Am I just here for decoration ? ”

Does she not see me standing here ? Why would I let her run around fixing this mess when I’m right herer he thought , exasperated .

“ Stay put

I’ll take

care of it , ” Josiah said firmly , guiding her back to a chair and practically pushing her into it before heading for the door .

“ Hey ,” Sienna protested , “ I can handle it myself ! ”

“ Sit tight , ” Josiah ordered without even looking back as he walked out .

Stunned , Sienna sat down , her mind swirling .

She couldn’t help but worry ‘ Can he really handle it ! Does he even know where the valve is ? Or how to buy a faucet ? ”

She might have underestimated Josiah .

Yes , he was a pampered rich kid , but he was also sharp .

When he didn’t know something , he wasn’t afraid to

After a short wait , the sound of running water suddenly stopped .

Sienna leaped to her feet and rushed to the bathroom .

Her lips curved into a small , soft smile as she she it .
