Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Molly shook her head, "I was definitely going to head home. I just got too engrossed in my game and lost track of time."

"Just keep getting lost in your game then."

Molly squeezed Chad tight, "Nah, can't do that. My favorite brother isn't in the game. Wherever my brother is, that's where I'll be."
