Violet went straight to Odette's room. Outside the door she could hear three voices conversing.
As she was about to knock Delilah yelled "Come in Aunt Violet."
Delilah was the only, besides their daughter, that could use their informal titles any time. Ash was especially hard for people who neglected his title. Especially his brothers.
"Hello children, would you mind if I have some time alone with my daughter." Violet looked at Delilah and then Kalvin and smiled sweetly.
Always the perfect lady, calm, gentle, composed. Even though Violet's mind was a jumbled mess in turmoil.
Violet crosses the room; she was still in the dress she wore at the party and somehow still moved with all the regal grace of a queen.
"I'm so sorry I haven't come to see you. But I came as soon as I could." Violet cried sitting next to Odette on her bed, pulling her in for a relieving hug.
