Overland Park, KS, Sunday

Kate had stayed the night in Fandom. Then she'd grabbed the earliest possible portal back home. Then she'd gone by a flower shop to get purple roses before actually going home. And she hadn't explained a whole lot to Bod, just dragged him along to the car because there was somewhere they needed to go today. A certain place back in Overland Park.

And they were on their way now. Almost there, in fact, because it wasn't that long a drive, even if Kate still kind of drove like a little old lady, sometimes.

"Wait, fuck, I always get confused around here. Is the next turn to the left? I think it is."

It would probably have been helpful if she'd actually told Bod where they were going.

"Where are we going?" asked Bod after she'd posed her question. "Perhaps I could help you with directions if I knew."

Because, yes, he didn't know. It was obviously important but she hadn't said a lot since arriving back home about anything.

"Which one?" Bod asked quietly. "Is there a specific grave you're wanting to see? I'm fairly familiar with the graveyards in the area."

"All right," Bod said without any judgment. "Then yes, it's the next left and then we follow the road to the end and take the last right. It's back there."

"Just relax," Bod said, reaching over and rubbing her shoulder lightly. "We'll get there. It's all right. Just relax."

"All right," he said, sitting back and watching the road quietly while she drove. He didn't really believe she was all right, though.

"We are." He unbuckled his seat belt and glanced over at her. "Are we going to get out?"

"All right," Bod said, climbing out of the car and pushing the door shut. He pulled his jacket a little tighter around him and waited for her to lead the way.

Bod let himself be lead and followed along quietly. He glanced around as they passed various tombstones but kept quiet the entire time.

"Hullo, Lionel," Bod added after a moment. He nodded and gave Kate's hand a squeeze.

Bod let her hand go and slid it into the pocket of his jacket. He watched her do everything quietly, letting her have the moment she seemed to need.

"Yes but it's not a pressing matter," Bod said, shrugging. "If you needed to visit, you needed to visit. I'm not going to press you for reasons why."

"Ah. In the same way my parents were on the island a few years ago?" Bod guessed after a moment.

"Thank you for checking anyway," he said, smiling briefly. "How was your time with Lionel?"
