[Struggling to pull her arm from his grasp is futile but you can't blame a girl for trying. No way is she going to be put away in that manor again. Short-sighted as it may seem, she doesn't care where she ends up as long as she's in control of her own fate. If she ends up a starving pauper, at least it was her decision. Maybe a few years of throwing herself into the hard life would make people more inclined to forgive her. She would rise from the ashes like one of the heroines in the stories. A modern Cinderella who shunned her evil stepmother and ran because her fairy godmother was never going to come.]
