I heard Mom and Dad screaming at each other from across the hall. I crept outside my room and eavesdropped outside their door.  I strained to hear their conversation.

"Maxon, he tried to kill you! What was I supposed to do?"

"Let the guards go! Let someone do the job for you! It wasn't your responsibility."

"With the King of Illéa in bed, who is going to rule? Oh, maybe the QUEEN!" Mom yells.

"But ruling doesn't mean taking it into your hands to go speak to the man trying to kill me! And what was that about you not being the one about to be killed?" Dad sounds thoroughly confused.

"I ALMOST KILLED A MAN FOR YOU, MAXON!" Mom starts to cry. I can picture Dad wrapping his arms around Mom, even though they just had a fight. It's so like them. Sometimes I wonder how anyone is as in love as they are.
