Getting to the apartment, Leo shut the door behind him with his foot and flicked his coat off his shoulders, tossing it onto the couch without much fuss as it landed in a loose heap.
He stood there for a second, eyes scanning the apartment, before he shook his head once with a tinge of amusement in the smirk that grew on his face.
"Do you think Sofia would come back this early?" he asked the room, and a beat later, Mia popped out from behind the hallway wall with her phone in hand, and after realising who it was, she stopped the act she had prepared to put on.
Leo, seeing this, let out a heavy breath through the still before turning towards a chair and leaning on it for a bit of support.
"You know," he said, toeing his trainers off, "faking an illness to skip school is not the path to becoming a lawyer. Or a model. Or whatever you're pretending you want to be this month."
Mia rolled her eyes so hard it was almost impressive.
"It was just for today."
