Chapter 269

• Sienna:
• I found her alone near the garden wall, her hands stained with soil as she reburied some of the broken herbs from the chaos last week. The sun dipped low behind her, casting a golden halo around her figure.
• She didn’t look up when I approached, maybe she heard me, maybe she didn’t. But I stepped forward anyway, slowly. I had to admit though, the two of us were not fighting anymore. There was a gap between us that I did not like. It was one that I could not explain, and I knew that we needed to clear that up. I needed to clear it out.
