Catherine's POV

I fell asleep just like that. I slept through the night without dreams, and I was woken up by Hedwig the next morning.

Today was the weekend. She didn't need to go to school. She rolled up, looked at me, and said, "Mommy, I might have made a big mistake!"

Hedwig pointed at the drawer beside the bed in a daze. "I messed up all the jewelry that daddy gave you!"

I was stunned for a moment. Then I quickly got up and opened the drawer. I turned serious when I saw the necklaces and bracelets piled up in a mess.

"Hedwig, why did you play with my things? You are not supposed to play with them. Do you know that?"

They were expensive and delicate. I always put them in the drawer carefully. But Hedwig fiddled with them like they were toys!

"I'm sorry, mommy. I won't do that again!" Hedwig quickly raised her hands and apologized softly.

I wanted to lecture her more, but she already knew she was wrong. So, I stopped blaming her. "I'll forgive you this time. But, not again!"

"OK!" Hedwig was relieved that I didn't blame her. She grinned and promised to be good from now on.

I sorted out the jewelry carefully. Suddenly, I saw the obsidian necklace that was at the bottom.

"Mommy, what's wrong? Are you unhappy? Are you still mad at me?" Hedwig asked in a low voice.

I shook my head and closed the drawer. "No. I still have work to do today. Can you play with Patricia?"

"Yes. Does daddy need to work, too? But I really want to play with daddy!" Hedwig pouted.

Just as Hedwig finished speaking, I saw the door open, and Blake walked in.

"I think I heard someone say she wanted me to play with her!" Blake said with a smile.
