Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

"Andre?"

Andre nodded, eyeing the untouched dinner on the table. "Why aren't you eating?"

"Can't find the appetite when I'm alone."

As Molly lowered her head, Andre spotted the remnants of cake on her cheek. He handed her a napkin. "You've got some cake on your face."

"What?"

Suddenly, memories of Chad's kiss on her cheek surfaced, making her heart beat wildly. She took the napkin and wiped her face. "Andre, what brings you here?" Andre replied, "Came to pick you up."

He realized he hadn't had a meal alone with Molly since her return. "Want to join me for dinner?"

Molly nodded.

The untouched dinner was cleared off the table, and Andre ordered some freshly cooked dishes instead. In the middle of their meal, Mia's call came through. "Mia, Molly and I won't be home for dinner tonight."

Mia sounded surprised, "You two are together?" "Yeah."

Mia blinked, puzzled. Wasn't Molly supposed to be on a date with Chad? Being the smart woman she was, she guessed, "Chad left, and Molly's feeling a bit down?" Andre glanced at his downcast sister across the table and responded with a hum.

Mia cautioned warmly, "The rain's heavy tonight. Drive safely and come home early." Andre agreed with a smile.

In the restaurant, the siblings sat in silence. The new dishes arrived shortly after.

Andre took great care to attend to his sister's needs, even changing her tableware.

Touched, Molly asked, "Andre, can I ask you something? After my disappearance, I've shifted all my dependence and trust from you to Chad. Are you mad?"
