Sienna smiled faintly . “ Sure , go ahead . “ ,
Nora asked cautiously , “ Sienna , did my brother confess his feelings to you tonight ? ”
‘ Of course she’d ask about that , ‘ Sienna thought . ‘ It would be weird if she didn’t .’
“ Okay ,” Sienna replied .
“ Holy crap ! Seriously ? My brother , that old fossil , actually confessed to you ? Where did it happen ? Were there flowers ? Was it all romantic and stuff . She in the movies ? ” Nora blurted out .
Sienna was kind of at a loss for words .
Nora just got more and more hyped , her mind running wild with all sorts of dramatic scenarios . Then she remembered Wayne’s miserable face earlier . ‘ Wait , did he get rejected ? ‘ she wondered .
“ Wait for me , I’m coming over ! ” Nora said , hanging up in a hurry and dashing out the door to find Sienna .
‘ Sienna getting confessed to ? How could I possibly miss out on this kind of juicy gossip . As for Wayne , he was basically irrelevant . What I really cared about was Sienna’s feelings , ‘ Nora thought to herself .
Nora’s mom watched her daughter dash out in a hurry , pressing her fingers to her brow in exasperation .
Wayne stared at the photo of Sienna on his phone , his fingers gently tracing her youthful , breathtaking beauty on the screen . ‘ Sienna , ” he thought .
‘ I backed down once because of another man , but this time , I’m not running away . Not again . Even if my chances are only one in ten , i’m still going to fight for it . ‘
Winifred and Amber were heading to Sienna’s room with their pillows , about to knock , when Nora suddenly burst in , calling out , “ Enna ! Enna ! ”
Hearing the commotion , Sienna came out and reminded Ebert that if Nora showed up , he didn’t need to stop her .
“ Nora , ” Sienna greeted her .
“ Enna , I have a million things I want to ask you . Come on , let’s have / a sleepover tonight , ” Nora said excitedly .
Winifred and Amber exchanged glances , and could see the annoyance in each other’s eyes .
“ No way ! ” Amber protested immediately .
‘ Who’s she ? She thinks she can just swoop in and take my sister ? ‘ Amber thought .
They thought for sure their sister would take their side , but Sienna just smiled gently and said , “ I need to talk to Nora tonight , Winifred , take Amber to
bed . ”
Nora even reached out and patted each of them on the head . “ Goodnight , girls . ”
With that , she closed the door behind her . Winifred’s mouth twitched . ‘ Sleep in the same room as her ? What am I , crazy ? ‘ she thought .
“ I’m not sleeping with you ! ” they two said at the same time , then both huffed and walked off to their own rooms .
As soon as Nora got into the room , she pinned Sienna down on the bed and , with a dead serious face , demanded , “ Spill it ! Sienna , I want every single detail about what happened tonight . don’t leave out a single word , or I’ll torture it out of you .”
Sienna gave a helpless smile . “ Yes , ma’am . ”

Nora listened carefully to Sienna’s story , then frowned . “ That’s it ? No flowers ? No romantic setup ? He just blurted out like you ? ”
Nora just couldn’t get it . ‘ Who confesses like that ? Where’s the effort ? Where’s
the romance ? ‘ she thought , totally baffled .
‘ Is my brother brain – damaged or what ? Even the densest guy wouldn’t be this clueless , ‘ she thought .
‘ What a joke . No wonder Enna isn’t interested in him . He thinks a boring “ I like you ” is enough to win the girl ? He must be dreaming , she scoffed to
herself .
“ Nora , don’t overthink it . We’re adults . No need to beat around the bush . Come on , let’s just get some sleep ,” Sienna said .
But Nora still couldn’t hold back . She asked in a small , tentative voice , “ Enna , are you still thinking about that person ? ”
Sienna froze for a second , then let out a gentle , relieved smile . “ No , really . I’m just tired . Let’s sleep . ”
Nora watched her face , feeling a stab of pity . Sienna always looked so strong and gentle , like nothing could touch her , but because of who she was , she was stuck here all the same ,
Meanwhile , as Winifred was walking past the exhibit of top prize – winning pieces , she suddenly spotted a familiar painting . “ Wait , isn’t that something ! just doodled back then ? ‘ she thought .
