Jealousy (1)

"Has Alfred been feeding the two of you too much? I feel like you have gotten bigger while I was not around. I hope we can find your mother and take her in too," Alessandra said while she played with the two kittens using a feather she found. "I bought gifts for you two. Why are the two of you nice to me when Edgar is not around?" 

'Where has Edgar gone?'  She looked at the door. 

Alessandra had not seen Edgar since their last conversation. He was giving her space but wasn't this too much space? When was he planning on returning? 

She sat on the floor playing with the kittens to pass the time until dinner was ready. Sally visited for a short moment to bring the kittens and informed Alessandra that she last saw Edgar walking around with Caleb.

"Caleb must be telling Edgar everything that happened today. He's my guard but he's Edgar's eyes and ears when he's not around. I don't mind," said Alessandra.
