I joined Mom as she looked up from smiling at something Vivian had said, my insides crawling just a little at the sight. Okay, so I didn't have the same animosity toward the Queen of Wheat I used to-I was mostly over the bullying she'd done to Daisy that ended in me breaking her nose when we were kids, wasn't I?-but there was a part of me that still mistrusted and disliked her. But was it on principle or based in fact? She'd proven herself loyal to the status quo as far as I was concerned and while that wasn't exactly a bad thing, considering my own support of Olivia, which could be construed as the same type of attachment, I knew understanding why I still didn't name Vivian among my peeps would require a long, hard look inside. A journey I wasn't sure I was ready to take.
Clinging to the past, who, me?
