Bab 214: A Plan For The Magic Tool

**ADDIE'S POV**

The tea party with Juliana went a lot better than I had expected it to. Yes, I was exhausted after it. And yes, I ended up sleeping for a good chunk of the day. But that was because I was emotionally and mentally frazzled and didn't know how to handle it at all.

In truth, I was happy to have been able to see my Aunt Caitlin. She was not my aunt biologically, but I still loved her. She was so nice to me and so sweet. And, of course, she was pregnant. She wasn't showing that much yet, but I knew that she was pregnant and that made me happy. I wanted to support her and protect her as much as I could.

And that desire to protect people was exactly why I wanted to get straight to work on making more of the magic tools that I had developed. I wanted to make sure that everyone would have what they needed to keep them safe. Mom, Dad, Arthur, Catherine, Briar, Uncle Dominic, Uncle Isaiah, Aunt Caitlin, my brother's wife Renea, all of them.
