Maxen and Cosette stopped by the door the moment they opened it, hearing Conrad's furious voice. Maxen's eyes dilated as he automatically gazed down at Cosette. The latter glanced at him and sighed.
"Told you," she spoke quietly, shaking her head mildly. "They will tear the house down."
Maxen unknowingly held his breath while Cosette carefully pushed the main door open. Ever since Maxen moved into this place, never once he had heard Conrad raise his voice. Matter of fact, he sometimes wondered if there was anything in this world that could faze Conrad or at least, could make him lose his cool.
Whoever that was, Maxen already thought that person was amazing.
Maxen followed Cosette quietly as the voices from the main living area grew louder and louder.
