''You're not coming home early?''
''...No, I'm not. Is there a problem?''
Ayana was on a call with Noah as she entered the black SUV, and the vehicle drove down to her favorite French restaurant.
''Someone's unhappy that his elder sister is already late for Christmas Eve.'' Noah chuckled lightly.
''You promised! You promised to come home by 6pm, sis!'' As if on cue to his words, Ayana's ears pricked at the familiar shout coming from the background.
Who else could it be but her little brother, Jason?
''I did no such thing, Jason.'' She raised a brow, unimpressed by her little brother's talent at twisting her words. He had a knack for such when he wanted something from her.
''No! You clearly did!'' He argued right back. ''I asked you this morning, and you said you'll try to come home as early as possible!''
''.....'' Well, she couldn't deny that.
