Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Jade couldn't help but wonder, Did Andre find out I was picking the lock earlier? "Andre, I just came back to talk to you all about Sweetie's first birthday party."

Andre shot her a look. "You couldn't just say that over the phone? Had to come all the way back?" Clearly, her family wasn't exactly thrilled.

Molly was convinced now-Andre definitely knew about her lock-picking stunt. No way he'd be this annoyed otherwise.

"Andre, I wasn't the only one picking the lock, you know! Your wife, your son, your nephew they were all there too. Why are you just mad at me?"

Mrs. Cedillo froze with her fork halfway to her mouth. She looked left at her husband glaring, then right at her best friend who'd just ratted her out. "Molly, I'm lighting a candle right now, praying I never meet you in the next life."

Hansen ended his call and put his phone down. "Huh. What's with the weird vibe in here?"

Molly looked over at her dad. "Dad, is your 'internet romance' finally over?"
