"Quite," Serena demanded. She didn't drop her gaze, she locked eyes with her mother and stood her ground. "This is my house and you will lower your voice," she uttered in a soft firm voice.

"It's been a long day, I'll appreciate it if you all get out," she stated and closed the distance between her and Ivy.
