Quintessa's crisp and melodious voice cut through the chatter of the room, leading people all around to turn their heads, including those of the Young family.

Upon entering, Miranda had her eyes dart around in search of Jerome, but shuddered by Quintessa's voice, she whirled around almost reflexively.
