The only sound that could be heard was the ticking of the grandfather clock that rested against the wall behind Katrina. Silently, she sat on the comfortable seat at the round table. In front of her was a small white plate and on top of the plate was a white tea cup half full with the hot liquid. Steam slowly drifted from the cup and its aroma filled the room. Next to the plate was a recently read newspaper and under the plate was an emerald table cover that had beautiful designs covering its surface.

Except for her, the room was completely unoccupied. All the other chairs were neatly and tucked under the table, while a crystal chandelier hung above her.

With one hand, she played with the heart-shaped necklace she was still wearing. Under her feet, she could feel the clean, white carpeted floor between her toes as it tickled the bottom of her feet. In her free hand was a small, hardcover novel she had been reading. Love stories had always her favorite. They always seemed to touch her heart. This particular story was already one of her favorites, even though she hadn’t finished it yet. Most likely because she imagined Ethan and herself as the star crossed lovers.

While the book was in her hands, her hair was tied back in a long ponytail. She wore a white sundress that was covered in pink flower designs. It ran all the way down to the tops of her knees. She had put it on just a couple of hours ago before she took a stroll through her large garden in the backyard of the manor.

On Monday, she had read the article about Ethan in the Crown City Times. She had already known about most of the things in the article, like the reason for Ethan leaving in the first place. But she did not know anything about the girl, Naira. Katrina had been too hesitant to ask Ethan about it. She figured that whenever he was ready, he would open up and tell her everything. Katrina could tell that Naira’s death, however it had happened, had taken its toll on Ethan. She did not want to push him too far.

Katrina had called Ethan after reading the article to tell him how much she had enjoyed it. He had seemed to glad to hear the news. She had meant to call him after receiving the flowers as well, but had decided that she did not want to continue bothering him.

After the events of last night, she had closed the company for the day. Katrina was glad she had so after hearing that the police were going to several businesses and questioning them. But now, it seemed like they were only pestering real estate businesses and a couple of newspapers.

She looked away from the book as she picked up the teacup with her index finger and thumb. Slowly she raised the cup to her lips and took a small sip of the hot liquid.
