Despite the tension of the previous day's lunch, it was quite a pleasant Friday preceding when the Hart couple intended to go to dinner.
Sadie followed Julianna and the other dogs around as she worked in the garden that barriered the main cottage from the rest of the yard. The queen tended to flowers and herbs and picked perfectly ripe tomatoes that she put into a woven basket for Owen to take inside later. The oversized double doors of the kitchen opened right onto the furnished patio that led into the garden. Owen sipped coffee and read the paper under the covered pergola. There was nothing subtle in the way he would frequently look up from the newspaper to check on Julianna. She worked happily, even if it was a bit hard for her. She fed the dogs fresh picked strawberries and green beans.
There was a large guest house on the back of end of the property. That is where Cain was staying. Sadie learned this by eavesdropping on conversations between the married couple.
Sadie had enjoyed the day, playing the part of rambunctious puppy. Running circles in the grass and playing with Duke and Duchess. The twin borzoi were so fast. Easily outpacing her and gently knocking her over with their long snouts. She lost count of the times that they pushed into her and sent her rolling onto her back as a way to establish dominance. Sadie understood animal mannerisms pretty well. She had been forced to study them before she escaped from the facility that had been keeping her captive. She knew the twins did not mean her any harm.
While she had the borzoi all figured out, Ruger remained a mystery to her. The stoic German shepard was hard to read and was constantly by Owen's side. Even know he was laying on the wooden deck next to Owen's chair. Ears up and alert. Ready to spring to action at a moment's notice, if he needed to.
Sadie had not interacted with Ruger since he'd been scolded for his outburst when she'd first been brought into the house. She wondered if he could sense that something was off about her.
It was around six PM that Owen and Julianna left for dinner. A very nice dinner, Sadie assumed, if the way they were dressed was any indication. Despite their having left, there was still no sign of Cain.
Being home alone seemed the perfect time to shift back into her human form.
Akiko...or maybe she should just keep calling herself Sadie, stretched out her arms with a grown. She felt sore and cramped up from being a dog for so long. She wiggled all her fingers and toes and cracked her neck. Her skin tingled all over as she tried to get used to the feeling of being herself again.
She was particularly blessed that despite being royalty, Owen and Julianna didn't keep staff in the house. Occasionally, they'd have a housekeeper or maintenance person come around, but no one live-in. The less likely she was to be caught as a strange naked woman wandering around their house, the better. Her first order of business was a shower. The cottage (which was not an accurate word for the small castle) had plenty of stocked guest bathrooms for her to choose from.
Stepping under stream of hot water was glorious. Akiko let it pour over her aching muscles. She couldn't remember the last time she'd had a hot shower.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
