I believe that she didn't do the right thing in "agreeing with her mouth." If you agree with only your mouth, but not your heart, you only leave room for more manipulation.

Janie agreed to keep the peace.

Explanation:

The only person you are going to be distant from is yourself. You are your own enemy. Your heart is truly you, and you are truly your heart. If you can't stay true to yourself, your heart only aches. Janie agreed to keep the peace.

She felt like she was restricted both physically and mentally. To stay away from worries and depression, Janie agreed with her mouth and kept peace.
