Lyric smiled warmly at the praise, glowing with quiet pride even as she brushed her hair out of her face again, and breathed deeply. Driving was stressful, but she was enjoying the promise of freedom that would come to her when she finally got her full license, and no longer needed to be babysat. Of course, she would still need to fight her brother for control of the Jeep in that upcoming future, but that was okay. She was sure she’d be able to win as often as she needed to!
Watching Nocturne as he made his way into the bank, Lyric sighed again and unbuckled her seatbelt, climbing out of the Jeep and digging around in the bags in the back. In the end, though, she decided she wasn’t in the mood for a cookie and eventually made her way around to the other side of the vehicle so she could climb into the passenger seat, adjusting the seat settings to be more to her liking and pulling out her phone.
While it wasn’t late enough for Chance to be awake, Lyric still sent him a half dozen texts, including a couple of selfies of her smiling at the camera. Happy with her ‘good morning’ messages for Chance, Lyric turned her attention to texting Cody, sending him a couple of the same photos, and filling him in on the day’s driving lesson. They chatted for several minutes before Lyric saw Nocturne making his way back to the Jeep, and she smiled at her brother when he climbed in, before beaming as he handed her a lollipop.
Lyric ripped the plastic off the lolly, popping it into her mouth as she gave Nocturne a sideways glance. “Such a badass,” she said. “Stealing candy from a baby.” She tutted playfully around the lollipop in her mouth, and put on her seatbelt as Nocturne turned on the Jeep to take them home.
