"You called Katelyn to see you first. Why?" Gabriel asked, having overheard the phone conversation.
"Ophelia could hurt her too, right?" Amelie replied, her voice tinged with worry. "I've been thinking about it constantly. I expected Kate to be back by the afternoon. She needs to wear the bracelet so nothing happens to her." She paused, a hint of regret in her tone. "I… I couldn't wait until tomorrow morning. Maybe I should've asked Karmen to go to Katelyn's house instead that night."
"Calm down, Ame," Gabriel said, lowering himself onto the bed. "She's a Sinclair. She can handle herself. Besides, Ophelia can't get close enough to harm her. Kate may be naive about some things, but she won't fail to recognize a witch."
"I understand," Amelie said.
"Mom would have worried endlessly if she thought something might go wrong. And now that you've asked Kate to be here by evening, she will be."
"She's with Sage in another city. He keeps her busy all the time," Amelie muttered.
