For the first time, Declan didn't leave home very early; he was an early riser. Regardless of how early Mia tried to wake up, he was always ahead of her. She guessed it was one of the traits of being a billionaire. He hadn't knocked on her door to say the usual "I'm off," and she hadn't heard his footsteps leaving. She was a light sleeper.

There was no response. She had no idea if she was allowed to go into his room without permission; after all, she was just crashing in his apartment.
