Katherine woke up to a cold bed like she usually did, but this time was different. It wasn't because he was on a morning run, but because Charles had not come back to their room at all, and the sadness she felt because of it hit her like a ton of bricks.
She probably wouldn't have even gotten out of bed if it were not for Blue. Blue had woken her up a couple of times throughout the night to play and go to the bathroom, but once she realized Katherine was awake that morning, she jumped on the bed and barked at her.
"Okay, okay!" Katherine told her as she quickly got out of bed to throw on some clothes and put Blue's leash on.
They walked outside to the gardens so Blue could take care of her business, and Katherine took the time to look around in hopes that she could spot Charles on his morning run. Unfortunately, she had no luck, and she didn't see Charles anywhere.
