Maximus drove home after dropping his daughter off. He was exhausted. As soon as he arrived, he parked in the driveway. His father, Magnus, was watching from the living room and immediately noticed that Maximus looked stressed or irritated.

“Maximus…” he called out from the couch.

“Hey, Dad. What’s up?” Maximus asked, carefully controlling his tone.

“That’s what I was going to ask you. You don’t look too great… What’s on your mind?” Magnus asked calmly.

“Oh, this? Just some things I need to drop off for the Palmer and Evans girls,” Maximus said as he approached and greeted his father.

“I think you need this,” Magnus said.

“A little. So? What’s going on?” his father asked, intrigued.

“A lot… But one thing in particular.”
