Ronan just gave a knowing smile.
After dinner, Ronan offered to drive Cordelia and Callum back to school.
"I've got my own ride, it's parked across the street," Cordelia replied coldly. Even though Callum gave her hand a reassuring squeeze, it didn’t change her frosty demeanor.
Once Ronan got into his car, he looked at Cordelia holding Callum's hand and said from the driver's seat, "Don't blame me."
Cordelia picked up the pace, dragging Callum along. She couldn't believe Ronan had the nerve to say that. Why shouldn't she blame him? Wasn’t he the one who had led things to this point, step by step?
As soon as Cordelia left, Sienna headed over to August's place.
She had planned to visit August for dinner anyway, but as she turned into the alley, she saw Cordelia's car drive by. Sienna thought she was having bad luck and waited a long time until both Cordelia and Ronan's cars had gone. Then, she stealthily carried a large bag of stuff over to August's house.
Sienna was going through a particularly rough patch lately, actually, she was in a pretty bad state.
