Days passed by since Katie saw Alexander kiss another woman and she had tried avoiding any thoughts of him.
One sunny afternoon, Katie was helping with the laundry as she hung clothes at the back of the mansion with Dorthy.
Dorthy looked at Katie from a far distance as the girl picked up a dress and went to hang it on the rope in a daze. Instead of the rope, she saw her friend hanging the dress in midair before she realized what she was doing. It seemed like her friend had been like this since this morning, lost in her thoughts.
"Did something happen to her?" Corey asked Dorthy in the evening while they worked in the kitchen.
"I don't know. I wonder if she got scolded by Martin for being late," she whispered to him, "That man can be scary."
"How about we go out and visit the village tonight? The carnival is going to end tomorrow," Corey suggested seeing Katie knead the dough with both her hands.
