Melissa walked out of her daughter's room feeling dizzy and disoriented, where could Eira be at this hour of the night? She had never snuck out before, not once! Perhaps Gareth had been right to worry about their daughter, her rebellious phase might be getting a bit out of hand.
As she exited the room she bumped into her husband right at the door, and felt a little startled not knowing whether to tell to him about Eira or not.
"Mel.." he placed his hands on her shoulders making her gulp involuntarily, if he found out Eira was not in her room, he would turn this palace upside down. "May we talk my love? I know things didn't end well in our last conversation, but I don't want us to be in bad books because of it. Can we please sit down and come to an understanding? I beg of you."
