Mindy snapped, "We're not taking your gifts. Plus, we didn't do anything to earn them. We're not family, and regardless of their worth, we can't accept anything from you."Besides, you and Miranda are history. Right now, you're just a stranger to us. So, there's no reason for us to accept anything f

The Sutton men had impressive genetics, and Lionel was no exception. He was tall, broad-shouldered, and even in middle age, he hadn't put on much weight. He tried on several suits, and each one fit perfectly."Honey, which one do you think looks best?" Lionel asked Mindy.Miranda instinctively turne

At 9:00 am, Miranda, Madison and Sebastian arrived at the classroom right on time.But by 9:30 am, Emilia still hadn't shown up.Madison couldn't help but grumble, "Seriously? Don't tell me she took another day off. She's the one who kept nagging us to be on time—where is she?"Sebastian frowned.Mi

Paul said, "Miranda can't make it tonight.""Why not?" Silas frowned. "She's off to training camp."Silas froze for two seconds. "…Wait. What? She's representing the college in the biology division?""Yeah."Silas said, "Now that's a solid pick. They made a good choice this time. What were they thi
