Unfortunately for the very late Maya, big sister Mia was in fact not in bed and had been keeping a close eye on the clock. Seated with one leg crossed over the other on Maya's bed, Mia awaited her little sister to return home. While it was true that Mia had a long, stressful day in court as a defense attorney, her little sister always came first, and Mia rarely, if ever, decided to head to bed before Maya came home.
Hearing the front door open, Mia breathed in deeply, collecting herself so she didn't sound so irritated nor angry with Maya. At first it would seem that big sister had gone to sleep, as their home was dark and mostly quiet, though young Maya was in for quite the surprise when she would head up to her bedroom.
