Iris:
I didn't feel comfortable standing there, eavesdropping on their conversation.
After Lord Ronald finished speaking, he hurried off, taking his daughter with him.
I started walking toward my car when Lady Vivian's voice stopped me.
"That happened because of you," she said, making me freeze in place.
I still tried to ignore her. I planned to walk away, but some people never stop until they're silenced.
"You come back and ruin my son's life twice. Do you not feel bad for him at all?" she continued.
I finally turned to face her, straightening my coat as I walked closer.
Her eyes lingered on my outfit.
She even glanced at my hair before rolling her eyes, clearly displeased to see me looking confident and comfortable in anything I wore.
She used to pick my dresses for me.
Her manipulation had once been subtle, but after spending years away from them, I realized how she and her daughter had controlled me in countless ways.
