In the car, Felicia stared out the window, tears streaming silently down her face.
Sienna dug some tissues out of her purse and handed them to her.
Felicia took them, glancing at Sienna before breaking into heavier sobs.
Sienna wrapped an arm around her, patting her back gently.
A silent comfort.
"Sienna, can you stay with me tonight? I really need someone to talk to."
Sienna glanced at Silas.
Felicia understood her hesitation.
"Silas, you're not going to say no to this too, are you?"
Silas spoke in a level tone.
"If Sienna is willing, I don't mind."
Sienna nodded.
"Okay."
She pulled out her phone and texted Noah.
[Not coming home tonight. Don't wait up.]
Noah replied instantly.
[Where are you? Who are you with? Are you safe?]
Sienna typed back a quick response.
[Safe. Stop asking.]
Noah sat on the couch, staring at his screen.
Was his sister with Finn?
He pulled up Finn's contact. Hesitating for a second, he typed out a message.
[Finn, my sister isn't coming home tonight. Is she with you?]
Downstairs at Solstice Heights.
Finn sat in his car, the engine still running.
He stared at the text Noah had just sent: [My sister isn't coming home tonight.]
It felt as though an invisible hand had violently seized his heart.
He tossed his phone onto the passenger seat, his hands resting limply on the steering wheel.
The night breeze brushed against the windshield. The dim, yellowish glow of a streetlight fell over the hood of his car.
He sat in the darkness, staring up at her window.
He yanked the steering wheel and drove toward The Hayes Estate.
The estate was much larger than Sienna had imagined.
