Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Mia said, "Babe, I've got to give you some credit-you're seriously killing it as a dad."

"I'd rather know how I'm doing as a husband," Andre replied, grinning.

Mia pressed her lips together, her eyes twinkling with playful energy. "Hmm... can't really score that."

"Oh?" Andre teased.

"Because you're the best-no one else even comes close," she said.

Andre laughed, opened his arms, and Mia slipped right into his embrace.

No answer.

Mia tried, "Tiger cub?"

"Mommy, I'm here!" Their little guy came bounding over.

"Time to go home, sweetheart."

Andre muttered, "Why does he never answer me?"

Mia just smiled. "Because he's clever-and a little dramatic." Clever enough to know when Dad uses his full name, he's probably in trouble. And dramatic because he only wants to answer to cute nicknames-he ignores his real name on purpose.
