“You’re both stressed. Just calm down.” Cyan paced the floor as Ghuli folded her arms. “Ghuli, I’m sorry, but I have to side with Cyan here.” The look she gave him conveyed a slight betrayal, but he stood firm. “We’re watchmen. I know you want to find this scroll thing, but your safety is more important.”
Ghuli’s scowl melted away, but she drew her knees up and hugged them. “What if finding the Great Scroll is the key to my safety?”
“Have we not been enough so far?” Cyan asked, the strength in his voice making Andyrsn jump, but Ghuli yelled right back.
“You’re not invincible, Cyan. I could lose you, too!” Cyan’s jaw hardened, and a pained look came across his reddening face before he stormed toward the door. “I’m not having this fight with you anymore.”

Two relatively recent books that had me sobbing were ME BEFORE YOU by JoJo Moyes and FIVE DAYS LEFT by Julie Lawson Timmer. A box of tissues should come with each of them. Sheesh! :)
Ooh, great snippet. Love all the tension in it!
(So sorry about Pitch Wars, btw. Just noticed that post while catching up with the blogosphere. *hugs*)
Aw, thanks, Heather. *hugs*
