At the hotel, Mia burst into the room, waving her phone excitedly at her husband. "Sweetheart, you gotta see this! There's an actual video. The mole on this shoulder matches the one I saw today, and look at this hand, the calluses at the base of the thumb."
Andre narrowed his eyes, suddenly realizing something. "Mia, isn't The Silent Ring supposed to be a no-electronics zone? How'd you manage to get this video?"
Mia, ever the resourceful one, playfully stuck out her tongue. "Well, if I spill the beans, are you gonna tell your boss?"
Andre took a deep breath, trying to keep a straight face. "Promise, I won't say a word."
"Okay, it was Molly. You know Chad's a cop, right? Molly's always got these clever tricks up her sleeve. She snuck it in, and then Leo recorded it on the sly."
Andre chuckled, his tone gentle as he coaxed her, "How did Molly pull that off?"
Mia walked right into it, "She hid it in her shirt."
Andre's eyes drifted to Mia's chest, and she quickly noticed, giving him a playful smack. "Hey, eyes up here."
Andre grinned, "I don't need to look to know."
Mia giggled and threw herself into his arms, clinging to him. "You're my everything, the love of my life."
Andre wrapped his arms around her, his annoyance gone. "Mia, it's always when you're being mischievous that you get all sweet-talking."
"Who says I don't sweet-talk you all the time? See for yourself." Mia pouted, looking for a kiss.
He leaned down, capturing her lips in a soft kiss. "I love you," Andre murmured, his voice a husky whisper in her ear.
Mia giggled again, snuggling closer. "I love you too."
Just when things were getting cozy, Mia suddenly asked, "Hey, do canker sores spread?"
