Chad turned his gaze to Molly, anticipation twinkling in his eyes as he awaited her response.

Colleen eyed her daughter, "If your brother married someone like you, it'd be him keeping house and looking after you."

Chad raised an eyebrow at his sister. Ever since he found out she was playing dumb, he stopped holding back on certain matters.

But Molly couldn't shake the nagging feeling in her heart.
