Chapter 33
"Happy Birthday Kitty!" Catherine entered Kat's room at 6:15.
"Morning Catherine, " She grudged as she got out of bed. To her surprise, everyone else was up and dressed.
"Happy Birthday!!" Anna sang as Katherine walked down the stairs in her school uniform. Above the fireplace was a large, glistening banner reflecting the light off from the main light.
"Open your presents Katherine!" Edward exclaimed as the teen sat down on the sofa. "This is from me and Cathy, " Anne said, passing her a rectangular box. Kat shook it before tearing off the paper.
"Wow!" She opened the box to find a pair of open-toed, black stilettos with straps crossing over each other. "Thanks so much! I really love them!"
Mary passed her a smaller box with silver wrapping paper.
"This is from me and Lizzie, "
Inside was a thick silver bracelet.
"Ooh, I like this!" She spoke trying it on.
Anna had got her a new black dress with diamontes in diagonal lines crossing over one another on the torso and the skirt of the dress quite flowy.
"We're going out for tea tonight so I will give you our present later, " Catherine said whilst washing up. She always said the present she bought for someone was also from Jane.
"Right, in the car you 4," Anna herded up the children like sheep.
"Parr, you coming?"
"Yep," She broke her hug from Anne and kissed her on the forehead.
"Mary, Anna said get in the car," Mary looked from her phone towards her mother, got up and left the house. Anne also got up,
"Oh, I'm just going to the shop, I'll be back it a bit," and she shut the front door.
The silence deafened Catherine. The last time she was surrounded by so much silence was Jane's funeral. She remained seated for a couple of minutes just staring at her ring. She reminded herself of her first date with Jane.
5 years ago today.
