If they were really trying, they wouldn't have just eight coins left. They tried once and gave up." Charmaine hadn't noticed any of this before. "Well, helping them out wouldn't hurt, right?" Emyr snorted. "Help them, and next thing you know, they'll be asking for my number and bothering me." With a quick, practiced movement, Emyr grabbed the last giant panda from the machine and tossed it into the already overflowing cart.
"They claim they want a toy, but they didn't even look at you. They were focused on me." He raised his hand and flicked her lightly on the forehead, his voice teasing yet playful. "You should wise up, 'Girlfriend."" Charmaine rubbed her forehead, still in disbelief.

Maxwell, who had witnessed the harsh realities of war, now carried a maturity beyond his years, a quiet weariness settling in his eyes.

Valda added, "Thinner's fine, as long as you're safe! Once we're home, we'll feed you well, get you sgood food, and fatten you up!" Zayn, ever the practical one, asked, "How long do you have off?" Maxwell replied, "At least a month, until the next mission." "That works," Zayn said.
Seizing the moment, Leah stepped forward, wrapping her arms around Maxwell in a big hug, playing the role of the spoiled little sister. "Maxwell, you must be starving. There's a restaurant over there. Lettake you and Liam to grab a bite." As she spoke, Leah shot a playful wink at Olympia. "Mom, I'm just going to have a little chat with Maxwell. Don't worry. We'll bring him back soon!" Olympia smiled warmly, "Go ahead, eat your fill. We'll wait in the car for you." "Okay!" Once inside the restaurant, Maxwell's deep brown eyes saw right through her intentions. "Spill it." Leah stuck out her tongue, embarrassed. "I knew I couldn't hide anything from you, Maxwell ..."

Veronica, eager to chin, exaggerated the story, making it sound like Charmaine hadpurposefully gone out of her way to harass her on the plane. This time, even Liam couldn't keep quiet.
"Damn, Maxwell, your sister's really something else. Just because she has someone backing her up, she bullies everyone-her classmates, her family, even you? That's just wrong!" My Dady BR 416 Tip: You can use left, right keyboard keys to browse between chapters.
