Ariana burst into laughter, unable to contain herself. She marveled at the way Sonia's and Maxwell's personalities seemed to mesh, though she had no clue what Sonia was really thinking.

Standing by the curb, Maxwell stayed by Ariana's side.

Before long, Devin's car pulled up, and Ariana and Melon said goodbye to Maxwell.

Maxwell nodded in response, watching as Ariana and Melon got into the back seat.

As Devin started the car and drove off, a black sedan slid out from the shadows, following Devin's car.
