Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Annie walked in and scooped up her daughter. “I'm taking Lizzy out for some fresh air. She needs a change of scenery.”

Conner raised an eyebrow. "That's new. Usually, you complain that Lizzy's already had too much 'fresh air.”” Annie shot him a look as she headed out. "Well, maybe she's had enough before, but today's different." After the door closed, Conner gestured at it in disbelief. “Seriously, Annie's always after me for taking Lizzy out too much.”

Andre glanced over. "Annie's taking Lizzy to a get-together."

"With who? She doesn't even have friends around here," Conner said.

Mars jumped in, "What are you talking about? Milka's her friend, isn't she?"

Conner paused, then his face lit up in realization. “Oh, she's meeting up with the wives, isn't she?"

Asher piped up, "Hey, hey, Teddy and I aren't married, you know!"

Teddy grinned. “Yeah, I'm definitely not. What about you?”
