Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Henry leaned back and slid smoothly off the solid wood chair-he'd had this move down since he was barely walking. Back then, he was so little he'd often end up thumping onto the floor, sometimes earning a gentle scolding or a playful swat from his dad. But now, he was a pro. He landed with style, scampered off in his little slippers, and chased after his dad.

By the time he reached the entryway, Mia could already hear Henry's protests from the dining room-he really didn't want to change his shoes. At three, he was sharp enough to know that sneakers meant an outdoor run was coming. As soon as his dad tried to swap his slippers for sneakers, Henry fell apart.

But this wasn't the same! Henry stood at the door, wailing, "Mommy, help!"
