Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Anya was finally back, so he didn't have to face those lonely, sleepless nights

anymore.

The city was wrapped in darkness, and the couple, reunited after so long, spent the whole night lying awake together...

Mia was back at school, and her days were packed. It felt like she was living in the library—when she wasn't in class, she was buried in books. Everyone was cramming for the bar exam, so she just threw herself into studying, too, barely stopping to catch her breath.

Andre would watch her come home, still reciting legal codes under her breath. "Mia, why don't you take it easy for a couple of years before worrying about the bar? You're barely making time to enjoy yourself these days."

Mia blinked at him. "Babe, don't you want me to pass the bar?"

Andre laughed. "Of course I do, but I don't want you to run yourself ragged. Most people are in a rush because they need that license to find a job and get their lives sorted. But you're not under that kind of pressure. Go hang out with your friends, travel, enjoy college-you've got time."

With her husband saying that, Mia honestly felt tempted to just slack off.

That night, she ditched her books and called her girlfriends, repeating Andre's words.

Molly sighed dramatically, "Next life, I'm cutting in line and marrying Andre before you do."

Mia grinned. "Even if you beat me to him, he'd still say he only loves me."

Not long after, over at the Byrne house, Officer Chad came home from work. Molly put her phone on speaker. "Mia, tell Chad what Andre said to you. Chad, listen up."
