Abroad.

When Mia woke up, her husband was nowhere to be seen. She'd been vaccinated, so she started packing her bags to head back home.

Last night, Andre got a call, and Mia found out there was some trouble with Leo back home.

They missed the last flight of the night, so they had to leave at noon today. Andre got busy with his stuff, so she started packing up their luggage in the hotel room.

At 10 o'clock, Andre came back to find their bags all packed up by his wife.

"Mia?" he called out.

"I'm in the bathroom," her voice echoed from the bathroom.

Andre pushed open the bathroom door to find his wife blow-drying her hair.

"Did you pack up everything?" he asked.

"Yup, did you get the tickets?" she fired back.

Andre pulled out their IDs and said, "Our ride's waiting downstairs, let's hit the road after you're done with your hair."

Mia turned off the hairdryer, gave her hair a quick fix, and then followed her husband out of the hotel.

On their way home, Mia asked worriedly, "Honey, Leo didn't get hurt, did he? He's got a sharp mind but a weak body. If someone laid a hand on him, he might not handle it." Andre replied, "Nah, he was just detained."

Last night, Andre was planning to take his wife for a night out when he got a call from Leo.
