The situation
Mia was supposed to be asleep, but she'd been quietly looking at books under the covers with a torch. When she heard Dad coming, she clicked off the torch and squeezed her eyes shut, pretending to be fast asleep. Dad whispered goodnight. Mia had tricked him — but she felt a little funny about pretending. (Feeling words: Guilty · Unsure)
