"Why was Dad and Irene fighting earlier? I could hear yelling," Matt asked during the tutoring session.

I tensed at his words; I didn't want to tell him the whole truth because it would only hurt him to find out it was his sister who tried to poison him a few months ago. I had to protect Matt from the awful truth; I knew Irene felt guilty about it and that Matt wasn't in any danger, but if he found out the truth, he would never trust her again.

"Just some differences," I decided to tell him with a shrug. "It's nothing to be concerned about."

He looked at me, a small frown on his face.

“Differences?” He asked. “They've had disagreements before... but it was never anything like that. Something felt off."

I bit my lower lip, trying to keep my eyes fixed on the coffee table.

"Irene did something bad, and it put a lot of people in danger. She's sorry and it won't happen again, but your dad is upset about it. They'll be okay. They just need to talk it out and figure out the best outcome for everyone."
