Ryder scowled, but Aria just smiled and took the paper from him. She scanned it quickly, her eyes widening in surprise.
Aria sighed, but she couldn't help feeling a twinge of admiration for Ryder's determination. Maybe this weekend wouldn't be so bad after all.
Ryder grinned, a small, triumphant smile. "I wouldn't dream of it," he said.
And with that, Aria Lee and her stepbrother Ryder began their weekend of chores and reluctant cooperation.
