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."

Everyone in the room knew that Chad, the captain of the Havenbrook detective squad, had arrived and was giving Molly a piece of his mind at the entrance.

And everyone came out to enjoy the show.

What they saw though, was Chad getting a bear hug from his sister, followed by Molly whispering sweet nothings into his ear?

"Chad, I didn't cause any big trouble today, just got home a bit late. I didn't give you any extra headache. Don't be mad okay? I love you the most. Don't be mad, because when you're mad, I get scared." Chad couldn't take it anymore. He barked, "Hands off!"

Molly wouldn't let go, "If you promise not to hit me, I'll let go." She was always like this, persistent and good at getting what she wanted.

Chad just stared at her in silence.

Frightened, Molly let go. As Chad raised his hand to hit her, she quickly scrambled to the passenger seat of the car.

Chad's raised hand clenched into a fist and withdrew.

Jack stepped up to Chad and extended his hand, "Nice to meet you, Chad. I'm Jack Ashford."

Chad shot a hostile look at the man in front of him and didn't return the handshake, "Mr. Ashford, it would be best if you kept your distance from my sister in the future."
