Arielle put a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth. If earlier it was Archie who followed her everywhere, now it was Arielle's turn to follow Archie wherever the man went.
After eating at a restaurant, Archie bought ice cream for his sister. At first, Arielle hesitated, but the vanilla ice cream in front of her looked very tempting.
"Where are you going again?" Archie asked.
"I do not know."
"Then come with me one last time. You can finish your ice cream first."
Arielle just nodded without asking anything. Archie's treatment this time felt very different. Arielle felt they were starting to bond like real siblings. Even so, Arielle didn't want to say anything. She was afraid of ruining the atmosphere. Or worse, made them both awkward.
