It will clear your mind and remind you of your identity as a member of the Warren family,” Jane responded. Viola glared at her fiercely. “Shut your mouth. If you’re going to follow me, stay at least ten feet away. Fuming, Viola turned to walk away, but it was too late–several eyes were already on them. Now, every glance directed at her felt mocking, as if she were the subject of a cruel joke. She truly didn’t want to stay in this
