The Fox Plays Around

While Blakely was being doted on by her well-meaning but slightly chaotic caretakers, her other girlfriend, Maven, was dealing with a different kind of chaos. She had agreed to babysit her 11-year-old twin siblings, Margo and Mason, for the day. Margo was the embodiment of energy, always bouncing from one activity to the next, while Mason, though quieter, had a penchant for causing trouble in the most subtle ways. To make things even more interesting, their best friends Cleo and Theo—Blakely's younger siblings—had come over to join in the fun.

Cleo, ever stoic and composed, observed everything with an air of calm, her expression rarely changing no matter what antics were going on around her. Theo, on the other hand, clutched his beloved teddy bear tightly, his large eyes darting around nervously as if expecting some hidden danger to leap out at any moment.
