At that exact moment, her phone vibrated.
Motion detected – Mia’s room
Her heart skipped.
8. The Footage
The screen showed Mia sleeping peacefully on her side.
Blanket pulled up to her shoulders.
Silent.
Then—
Slightly.
Almost unnoticeable.
As if something underneath it had shifted.
Mia’s mother froze.
No storage. No drawers.
9. Watching Closely
She stared at the screen.
Her breathing slowed.
Her eyes fixed on the mattress.
Then it moved again.
A subtle lift.
A small shift.
But enough to confirm—
Something was there.
10. Fear or Explanation?
Her first instinct was fear.
But then logic pushed through.
There had to be an explanation.
Could it be the bed frame?
The floor?
