[Bennett Mansion]
Inside Katherine's room, she was bent over, adjusting the strap around her ankle, when a soft knock interrupted her. She paused and looked up, watching Roseline step inside with her usual poised elegance.
"May I come in?" her mother asked.
Katherine lowered her leg and straightened on the couch. "Yes," she said and watched Roseline step further inside.
Last evening had been chaos, with Hugo blatantly accusing Anna of cheating on Daniel, the humiliation she brought to him and what so not. In all that noise, Roseline hadn't noticed the brace around Katherine's leg. But now that she finally had a moment alone with her daughter, she couldn't ignore it.
"I suppose you need help?" Roseline said, joining her on the couch, her eyes fixed on the support wrapped around Katherine's ankle.
"How did you get it?" she asked, finally lifting her gaze to meet Katherine's calm expression.
