Author's POV
"Shut up!" Dorian suddenly snapped at Madeline, his voice echoing through the hall. The outburst shocked her, and everyone around them. "Stop talking already! Every time you open your mouth, my head feels like it's going to explode!"
On the other side, Lando wasn't surprised at all, because he had seen Dorian lose his temper plenty of times. People thought Maxwell was the wild one, but in the Brixton family, the real unstable one was always Dorian.
He could act gentle one second, then turn into a monster the moment someone pointed out his mistakes or stressed him out. It was like a switch flipped in his brain.
Lando learned that the hard way back in middle school. He once brought home a little stray puppy he found shivering on the street. The poor thing barked nonstop because it was terrified of people.
