In The Eyes of the Beholder

They opened the door to see Max on the ground, just in front of them as Carlotta and Dor tried their hardest not to laugh out loud.

"What happened here?" Ellie asked, looking at Max then the other two.

They were too busy trying to hold their laughter so they couldn't speak as Kaia helped Max up from the floor.

"Are you ok?" She signed, checking his head.

"I'm fine." He said, rubbing the back of his head. "I just had a little misstep."

"Please be careful," Ellie said, hands full with Kaia's clothes and her free hand on her heart.

"We will," Max said, smiling at her as she walked to the kitchen again after giving the clothes to another maid.

As soon as she is gone, the two burst into laughter and Max joined them.

"How did this happen?" Carlotta said, "It was so quick I didn't even get to see it properly."
