“Austin, I swear if I have to sing backup for that diva one more time,” Arielle complained, taking a bite out of her burger.

“What diva?”

“Aria.”

Austin burst out laughing, nearly choking on his burger. “I really thought you were talking about someone other than your six-year old daughter.”

Arielle smiled before popping a French fry into her mouth. “But she never lets me sing lead on the Disney songs, Austin. She always has to be Ariel, Jasmine…” She touched a hand to her chest. “Just once, can it by my whole new world?”

Austin continued to laugh, shaking his head.

“But thank you for taking me out for burgers,” she added. “I just hope Ma doesn’t go crazy alone at the house with both girls and the twins. They’re mobile now and I swear, even though they can’t talk, they collaborate. Just a couple weeks ago, Arabella crawled up to me and started jabbering up a storm while behind me, Antonio was pulling a cookie from Izzie’s plate off of the kid’s table. What I think, is that Arabella was the diversion. They planned it. He even shared the cookie with her afterwards.”

He shook his head with a chuckle, took another bite of his burger, and glanced at the clock on the wall. He couldn’t wait to see the look on his sister’s face when he and Sommer revealed their news.

“Ma will be fine,” he reassured. “She’s in her element when she’s with her grandkids.”

Arielle dipped a French fry into Austin’s ketchup, took a bite, and then scrunched her nose. “Ick, I still prefer my French fries plain.”

He grabbed a few fries, doused them in ketchup, and then tossed them into his mouth. Closing his eyes, he exaggeratedly moaned in delight while Arielle continued to scrunch her nose.

“Austin?”

They both looked up when they heard his name, and Arielle groaned when she saw Jessica’s face.

“Hi, yet again, Jessica,” he greeted.

“Funny running into you here,” she added. Then, her eyes flicked over to Arielle and she bent her wrist. “Jessica Costa.”

Arielle glanced at her hand. “Are you expecting me to kiss it or something?”

Austin grinned. “Arielle…”

“I mean, with the way she’s got it bent back and everything…”

“I’m sorry,” Jessica apologized. “It’s a habit.” She turned to Austin. “Did you say Arielle? As in your sister, Arielle?”

“We look nearly exactly alike,” Arielle added. “Who else would I be?”

Austin shook his head again at his sister’s sharp tongue. It might have been something that had embarrassed him on numerous occasions when they were younger, but as he got older, he grew to appreciate it. He even grew to admire it.

“I don’t mean to intrude—” Jessica began.

“Too late for that,” Arielle cut in.

Jessica pursed her lips. “Do you have a problem with me?”

Arielle glanced over at Austin in disbelief and clasped her hands on the table. “Let me get this straight. You dated my brother for what, almost a year, only to end up spreading your legs for some old geezer because he had even more money. Then, you left without ever offering an explanation as to why.
