Day two.
Morning sun was just breaking through as Anastasia and Herman were still lazing in bed, when suddenly they were jolted awake by noises from the living room. Half asleep, the couple had totally forgotten about the wee lass they had in the house.
Groggily, Anastasia rolled out of bed and headed to the living room. Seeing Pattie mopping the floor with a mop taller than she was, she was taken aback. “Pattie, why aren’t you sleeping?”
It was barely past five, and the sky was still half dark. It was one thing for an adult to be up and about at this hour, but a little girl like Pattie, dragging a huge mop around and cleaning the floor, was totally another thing.
But, seeing Pattie up and cleaning this early, it was clear as day that she was used to doing chores around the house.
Pattie just blankly stared at Anastasia. She didn’t understand what she did wrong. After all, she was used to getting up this early and doing chores back home.
“Pattie, from now on, you don’t need to do any chores.” Anastasia walked over and took the mop from her. “Are you hungry? I can make you something to eat.”
Pattie nodded. She was indeed hungry.
With a loving pinch to Pattie’s nose, Anastasia said, “You play in the living room for a bit. I’ll go make breakfast.”
Anastasia slipped into the kitchen, trying her best not to wake Herman.
She whipped up some egg sandwiches and was about to whip up some cereal for Pattie when she turned around and saw Pattie standing at the kitchen door. “Let me help you."
Pattie was such a darling, and it broke Anastasia’s heart.
A bit teary, Anastasia said, “Pattie, you can help me wash some fruits then.”
She realized that if she didn’t let Pattie do anything, the girl would feel restless. After being oppressed by Penny for so long, Pattie had become extra sensitive and wouldn’t be able to change this habit easily.
On hearing that she could help, Pattie lit up.
While making breakfast, Anastasia encouraged Pattie to talk more so that she could understand her better.
