"Sixth Brother..." Melanie hesitated as she glanced at Adrian Desmond, who had already left. Strangely, he walked in the direction of the mountain peak instead of the Castle.
Being no fool, Melanie guessed that Adrian was heading to Sienna.
"Cousin…" Bella Ford steadied Melanie, whispering something in her ear. Upon hearing this, Melanie's complexion changed.

Adrian headed to the mountain to find Sienna. His heart filled with urgency, he walked briskly. When no one could see him anymore, he abandoned all pretense and sprinted ahead.
He had been away for a month and wasn't sure what Sienna looked like now. He heard that she practiced close quarter combat every day at the mountain peak. She must have tanned. He yearned to see her sooner!
Adrian's anticipation of seeing Sienna was met with an unexpected "surprise"—indeed, a "big surprise"!
...
With a blue sky overhead and the sea breeze brushing their faces, the view from the mountain peak was beautiful.
