Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Less than five minutes after Henry left, Mia's voice echoed through the yard again: "You little troublemaker! I bought you that shuttlecock to kick, not to pluck the feathers out!"

Henry, still sulking, shot back, "Hey! Grandma, I told you already-I'm not a little bunny, I'm a tiger cub!"

Mia was even more annoyed. "I don't care what kind of cub you are. Get over here and take your punishment."

Weekends were supposed to be for resting, but Milka barely got to enjoy hers. She was still half-asleep when her phone buzzed. "Come on, let's go to Newtown and visit Lizzy," came the voice on the other end.

Milka grumbled, "I'm so tired."

"I'll fly. You can nap on the way."
