In the beginning of chapter 19, Odilia thinks, "I couldn't put my finger on it, but something didn't feel quite right. Perhaps it was my intuition that kept me away, the suspicious nature I'd developed since our journey in Mexico. More than likely, though, it was that solitary figure of Mamá holding herself together, alone—apart from my sisters, apart from Papá, apart even from me, her firstborn daughter, the closest thing she had to an ally. I was pondering my resistance, when suddenly the twins' bedroom door flew open." What mood does this create?
discomfort
joy
anticipation
excitement
