Cate was still pouting.
"What?" He asked her softly, again.
She ignored him, sticking her lip out.
He sighed. "Did Gertrude hurt you?"
Cate shook her head obstinately.
"Why did you scream?"
Cate frowned.
"Cate, you can tell me."
She looked at him, still upset. "You left me, daddy."
"I didn't leave you, Gertrude took you away," He corrected her.
She didn't seem to see the difference.
"You didn't get me."
"No," He looked sad, "And I'm sorry if that offended you, honey. I was with Sara."
Sara. Cate didn't like it already.
She thought about it.
Fine, she concluded, This is all Sara's fault then.
"I'm sorry." Jacob whispered.
Cate forgave him and disliked Sara instead.
"It's ok, Daddy." She smiled brightly at him.
He smiled back at her, obviously pleased.
At that moment Roxy clashed into the room at full speed.
"It's CHAOS!" She cried, eyes wild.
