Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Mia paused in her tracks, ready to chase after her husband once again, but halted by the words of her friend.

"You knew him when you were a kid? You mean, like he appeared in your childhood memories, or are you suspecting that he was involved in your abduction years ago?" Mia, with her clear mind and years of friendship with Molly, immediately caught on to what her friend "You think he's the one who kidnapped you sixteen years ago!"

The bond of friendship they shared over the years wasn't formed in vain. Molly nodded, indicating that she had also told Chad about her suspicions. Chad was a police officer.

Besides, Chad didn't seem to take her concerns seriously, probably thinking she was overreacting.

"Mia, I have this strong feeling that I can't let him go the moment I saw him. Especially when I caught him sneakily peeping into my brother's hospital room, and then lying about looking for a woman named Smith. There's no one by that name in the whole ward." Mia took Molly by the hand and sat her down on a chair. "How are you sure he's the one from your childhood?"

"He has a tattoo on his hand. It's in the shape of a leaf."

A leaf... could it be the Waltons?

Frowning, Mia recalled her visit to the hospital to see Chad. She had run into Holly and her driver, Tom.

"Is the man you saw wearing a black coat, well-built, with a crew cut, and an olive skin tone?" Mia's memory of Tom was a bit sketchy, as she hadn't paid much attention to him at the time.

Molly looked shocked as she nodded, wondering how Mia knew. Thinking Mia might have seen the tattoo on Finley's hand, she lifted her own wrist and drew a circle on it. "It's tattooed here, in deep green."
