"Zach…" Sienna whispered softly. Worry and confusion filled her eyes at the same time as she looked up at him. "Can you wait in my bedroom?"
Zachary fell silent as though genuinely considering her request.
But, several seconds later, he shook his head.
"I'll go out for a while," he said calmly. "And return tonight to hear your answer."
The words made Sienna freeze instantly, remembering his proposal, which she had not yet answered.
Her heartbeat faltered so abruptly that she nearly forgot Ava and Riley were just a few feet away, watching everything like a confused audience.
She briefly stared at him before swiftly returning to her usual composure.
A small smile appeared on her lips. "Okay."
Only after Zachary left the apartment and the door closed behind him did Sienna finally allow herself to focus fully on the two disasters standing in her living room.
Unfortunately, Ava and Riley did not wait politely for permission to enter.
