"Mm." Mia responded with a smile.
She curled up in the back seat, staring out the window, lost in thought.
The drive was silent.
The two of them got home just in time for dinner.

Mia stared back at it.
One person and one dog, both staring intently at each other.
After a moment, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
She turned on her side and opened her arms to the Chancellor.
