All Her Secrets

Amelia sensed something was off. As the voice condemning Catherine rose, she discreetly tugged at Catherine’s sleeve.

“Catherine, maybe we should leave. Something's not right here!” Though Amelia believed Catherine was innocent, stirring up a crowd wasn’t worth it. They had better step back and let things cool down.
