"Because this is not a road trip. We'll reach there in half an hour." said Nate, whose eyes were on the road.

"Hey look -" Ariana popped her head out from backseat and showed Alexa her phone.

"What?" Nate shifted his attention towards them.

Ariana returned to her seat while Alexa continued giggling.

"What is it?" He asked again. When there came no answer, he scoffed. "Whatever! Something lame probably."
