With slow careful steps, Eris approached Daddy's bed. It was barely morning, and Eris could feel her skin buzzing from what was happening downstairs. She didn't know how to say what was happening exactly, or what words matched the feeling in her heart. Her heart buzzed too. It was a wasp nest with a million tiny bees. That was why Eris broke things and didn't understand why they got mad afterwards. They'd understand too if they had hearts that were wasp nests with bees. What was happening went beyond that though. They'd created something that was so big. Bigger than anything Eris had ever seen made before, and Eris knew her parents would want to be a part of it. She couldn't take that away from them.

She didn't know where Mommy was, but that was okay because Eris got to spend more time with her than with Daddy anyway, and Eris wanted Daddy to see even more. He didn't ever say he was proud of them, but Eris felt like this could change that. ( She just wanted everyone to be happy. )
