Already burdened with having to take care of her family, Scarlet now finds herself being forced to listen to the many reasons why her marriage failed. Said to be a woman with a heart made of black ice, the people in town believed their opinions would not affect her so they had no reason to stop voicing them.

"Plenty of times," Scarlet answered. "I have to be careful. A few greedy people are looking to kill me."

"You drank the tea I prepared for you without any suspicion. Well, not that I saw," said Ian.

"I am not paranoid everywhere I go it's just when I get around some familiar faces. The juice is fine," Scarlet said, taking a small sip of it.
