Andre's side of the bed was right next to the walk-in closet. He stared at the little "surprise" under the covers, swallowing hard. Turns out, he'd just missed this playful side of Mia.

He was about to throw back the blanket and get up when-click-the closet door shut. When Mia came out, she'd changed into different pajamas and shot him an icy glare. "Andre, let me show you how a real silent treatment works!"
