Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

**"What's got you smiling like that?" Chad asked.

Molly set aside the lunch box and waved the surrounding officers over to eat. She then nudged Chad towards his office. "Big Bro, Mom's cancer check-up came back clear. The doctor says she's healthy and can be discharged." Chad's face lit up with a smile, "That's definitely something to celebrate."

Molly, eager to share the good news, had stopped on her way to the police station to pick up a big, steaming dish of roast chicken.

Outside, the officers were already digging into their meals, calling out for Chad to join them.

"You know, our captain's fondness for Molly is beyond just 'fond"," one officer commented. "He wouldn't even glance at the meals Vivian brings, but when Molly shows up, he personally greets her at the door." "Molly's different," another officer added. "To Officer Chad, even a meal cooked by Vivian can't compete with a takeout Molly buys."

Just then, a curious voice chimed in, "Who's Vivian?"

Molly joined the conversation, her gaze shifting between the two officers. "What's she doing with my brother?"

Chad, following closely behind, overheard the chatter. Fearing Molly's temper might flare, he quickly grasped her arm, "Let's eat in my office. I'll explain."

"Let go of me. I don't want your explanation, I want theirs," Molly said, trying to shake off Chad's grip.

Sensing the tension, one of the officers quickly redirected the explanation to Chad, "Molly, we don't know her. But the captain does. Let him explain."

Molly turned to Chad, demanding, "Who is she? What does she do? Why is she bringing you meals? How many times has this happened?"

Molly's barrage of questions made the officers feel like they were witnessing a jealous wife interrogating her husband.

Chad, noticing the fire in Molly's eyes, tried to calm her, "That's Vivian. It's her first time here. She wanted to visit Mom at the hospital..."

Before Chad could finish, Molly cut him off, visibly angered, "Doesn't she have her own mother to visit? Why visit mine? And why is she bringing food to my brother instead of hers?" Molly huffed, asking again, "Did you eat the food she brought?"
