Through the crack, she caught sight of Suzan curled up in Mitchell's arms, her voice soft and sulky. "Darling, do you love me more, or do you love Effie more?"

Mitchell held her close, planting a kiss on her cheek. "Of course I love you, you little bitch. But we have to be careful at work-Effie's here, too."
