Mom’s face went white. “Have… have the Youngs been told? What about Madam Young?”

Maxwell shook his head, his voice low. “Idris told me not to tell anyone. He said he’d handle it. But something like this… it’s not going to stay hidden for long.”

He finished speaking and gave me a look, his sigh soft and full of concern.” You’ve had your say, now you need to rest up and get better. As for having kids, there’s plenty of time for that later.”
