"Honestly, Frankie," Gabrielle sighed. "I don't know why you insisted on coming here."
"Stop calling me Frankie." Her twin brother insisted without much interest. That was usually how their fight over his childish nickname went. Gabrielle always won, seeing as Frank had a soft spot for her. Inspecting something on a shelf, he added, "'Sides. Can't a guy get a good laugh every now an' again?"
"Not if it's you," Gabrielle said quietly. She didn't understand. Frankie was a quiet boy, usually keeping to himself, and he had long ago given up the habit of being a joker. It was one of his traits that had went to the grave, along with their father. "Well, hurry up, then. I don't want to waste all of our trip at this place."
"Don't get your knickers in a knot, Gabi," Frank sighed. "Honestly."
