Stanley reached for the wardrobe door and opened it. Inside he found Wendy.

She was curled up in the corner of the wardrobe, her small frame tucked in tightly. Her long, black hair fell in soft waves. When the door opened, her sleepy, clear eyes, still heavy with sleep, snapped up at him like that of a startled 'deer.

At that moment, she looked so vulnerable, almost like a secret lover hiding from the wife, forcing her to flee from his bed and hide in his wardrobe so that she wouldn't get caught.

With Jessica about to burst in and confront her, Wendy had panicked and crawled into the wardrobe.

She looked at Stanley and asked softly, "Has Jessica left?"

Stanley didn't answer.

Wendy tilted her head back slightly, her lips curving into a playful grin. “I saw Jessica coming, so I hid. Mr. Hawk, don't you think I'm a good girl?"
