Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Jack watched Anya devour her food in the car, her cheeks puffed out with a half-eaten burger. She shot him a nervous glance and apologized, "Chad, I'm so sorry, it wasn't on purpose." Jack chuckled, "Take it easy, don't choke."

Mia just sighed, lost in her thoughts. It hit her why everyone was so surprised when her husband indulged her, and why she had unknowingly stepped on some of Andre's soft spots. Turns out, everyone has that one special person in their life who lets them get away with just about anything. Mia patted Anya's shoulder. "Kid, Aunt Mia's got your wedding gift all ready."

Jack gently swatted Mia's hand away. "Go back to your mommy blog empire. We're heading out."

Jack slipped on the Ray-Bans Mia had given him and drove off.

On the road, Anya unwrapped another burger for Jack, ready to feed him. But Jack took it with one hand while steering with the other, taking a big bite.

"Chad, have you ever eaten in your car before?"

"Yeah."

Anya relaxed a bit. After a moment, Jack added, "You're the second person."

Anya's eyes widened, "..."
