The Apartment Above Luke's, Saturday
Nov. 17th, 2018 03:08 pmAfter a big day outside - playgrounds! puppies! snow! - Katherine had come back to the place where she'd woken up and had promptly fallen asleep, all tuckered out by her adventures. Now she was awake again and hungry. The only cereal in the house was a sugar cereal, which she wasn't supposed to have and she wasn't allowed to use the stove without adult supervision.
But there didn't seem to be an adult in the whole house! Just her. That was funny. Who had a house with nobody in it?
She took a shower in the pretty bathroom and got dressed, figuring maybe she could find somewhere to eat. And another funny thing - she found a twenty dollar bill tucked away in the exact place she hid money back home: hidden in a pencil box in the top drawer of the desk. She painstakingly wrote out an IOU and put it there, and then sat down to plan her day.
First, breakfast. Then...puppies again, maybe?

Ow.

That did make sense. A little bit. More sense than her being left by herself.

"Sorry for closing the door in your face, Mr. Babysitter. Are you gonna tell?"

Date: 2018-11-18 08:44 am (UTC)Those were the three most often given reasons why Katherine wasn't allowed to do stuff at home. Given the number of fragile things from Korea, the giant table in their living room, and her father's general grumpiness, all three were equally risky.

Date: 2018-11-18 09:20 am (UTC)Katherine tugged her hand free and walked quickly back to the room she'd been staying in. She was back moments later, carrying a child-sized guitar with her. "You don't think anyone will mind if I borrow this, right? I left a note."
