Josiah raised an eyebrow. “What do you think?”

“Josiah,” By this time, Lysander had already approached the pair.

With a smile as dazzling as the stars, the lady with red lips and curly hair greeted warmly, “Hello there.”

Lysander gave her a glance. “I’m sorry to interrupt, may I have a moment of your time? It won’t take long. I just need to discuss something with Mr. Guerra, and I’ll be on my way.”
