Leonore could only stare at her in admiration. Ann was unbelievably composed. It would take her years of practice to reach that level of calm.

Ann then turned to her mother. "And you, Mother, I know you love to show off, but I'd prefer to keep this low-key. Please don't go telling everyone about the signet."
