Ariella frowned when the butterfly left her fingers. "You spooked it."
"Ella, it's just a butterfly." Lin reminded her.
Ariella rested her chin on her knee. "Let me enjoy the little things until Dad's grounding ends."
"It's only been a day." Lin laughed.
Ariella glared at him. "Just wait. When you get grounded, I'm going to laugh at you." She looked at the black leather jacket and helmet in his hands. "Where are you going?"
"Nowhere," Lin winked, getting to his feet.
Ariella narrowed her eyes. "Uh huh,"
"Don't wait up,"
Ariella huffed, watching her twin rush down the steps to his motorcycle. She watched as he slipped on his helmet before revving it, and he was gone in the blink of an eye.
"Ready?"
Ariella sighed, getting to her feet. "It's not like I have a choice."
"Ariella." Dad sighed.
She brushed past him, heading to his truck.
Ariella understood that her dad would do anything to protect her. He couldn't lose her or her brother. But she felt like he was going about it the wrong way.
