“There’s mango in them, and you’re allergic to mangoes.”

Aiken immediately apologized. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know you had a mango allergy.”

“Who told you that?” Maia refuted and grabbed a cookie.

Cedric stopped her by grabbing onto her wrist. “I know you’re just doing this to spite me, but you shouldn’t joke around with your health.”

His frown deepened as he snatched the cookie out of her hand.
