Suki:
There stood Yorick's mother in the doorway, her smile stretched so wide that I felt my body tense.
"Oriana, my dear daughter-in-law," she remarked through a clenched jaw.
I had no idea why she was looking at me with such happiness. I had thought Oriana had forced herself on Yorick, so his mother should have been angry with her as well.
Unless she believed Oriana was telling the truth and that her son had committed the crime he was accused of.
If that was the case, then I could understand why his mother would not believe him and would be pleased with Oriana.
After all, Oriana was the one saving his life by not demanding his execution.
"Come on, why are you standing outside? Come inside," his mother insisted, and I began to look around anxiously.
