Katrina was beginning to worry about Catherine... Not that she should care at all.

But she hasn't seen Catherine since her time there. She finally asked Melanie, when they were at dinner.

"Hey? What's up with Catherine?"

Melanie finished with the last scrap of potatoes on Helen's plate, then sat down.

"She's alright.. She's with that boyfriend of hers." She just pursed her lips. Her sister was grown; And even though Katrina was the second baby of the siblings; At times, it felt like she was Melanie's age.

"Does mom usually do this? Not come home?"

"Yes." Helen answered for Melanie. "She does this all of the time." Katrina didn't know what else to say; It was a weird feeling, not being able to see everyone like she used to.

The girls were already finished eating and playing in their rooms, while Devlin was on the phone discussing one of his employee's unfinished designs; He had already eaten. Katrina, Jared and Melanie were still at the table. "I wish you all could stay an extra day." Melanie added, popping a broccoli in her mouth.

"We have to do something for sure tomorrow.. Me and Angel could get a babysitter, and we could hit up a club or something?"

"Without me!" Helen exclaimed, putting down her fork and pouting.

"We have all day to hang out with you." Melanie murmured, peeking at Katrina for support. "Yeah! You know; You could always come visit me out there, you all can."

"Is this a sure thing!" Helen jumped up, almost knocking down her juice.

"Yes." Katrina nodded, she didn't know that Helen missed her that much, then again she could tell Melanie did too.

"Yes!" Helen yelled, sitting back down. "I can't wait."

The table was silent for a moment. Jared scarfed down his plate; He enjoyed all the food her sister cooked.

He slowly looked up, and had spaghetti dripping from his mouth. Then he slurped it back in, wiping his mouth with a napkin.

"Sorry.. I haven't had good food like this in a long time." Katrina glared at him, and he cleared his throat. He had said that about her cooking as well.

"I mean.. Spaghetti like this."

"I made spaghetti for you once!" She said, in a matter of fact.

"Yeah but... Her meatballs did something to me; They're so spicy, and delicious!"

Helen and Melanie started laughing. And Katrina poked Jared.

"So? How come he's on the phone a lot?" Melanie curiously asked them. Jared just shrugged, and Katrina felt like she was sticking up for a cheating husband under her sister's eyes. "He has to deal with a lot of work."

"I've never heard of that." Her sister nonchalantly said, and took a bite.

"He just took over his father's company."

"Ohhh." Melanie murmured, taking another bite. "That makes sense now." Then her sister lowered her voice. "Katrina.. I've been meaning to tell you this; Be careful alright, I love you, and you're my baby sister, but.."

She leaned over the table and whispered it. "Devlin seems a bit off, he's kind of intimidating; Although his interior shows arrogance, his exterior shows strength, and.. A lot of kindness, but damage altogether."
