Chapitre 101: The Letter

**CATHERINE'S POV**

It is almost the growing season now. This growing season, which was usually a happy time of year for everyone, was going to be hard. It was going to be hard just like the rest of the season of the sun had been hard, and the entire harvest season as well as this whole cold season had been hard.

All times have been hard for us right now ever since Mr. Boberre showed up and took Addie away. He had come halfway through the season of the sun. He had come in the middle of Addie's eighteenth birthday party. He had ruined the party and our family.

Mom hadn't been the same since that day. Dad had been sad but was trying to hide it. And Arthur had been so angry. None of them were the same, me included.
