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.

"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?"

"I can imagine that it would be weird," Bod said with a little nod. "But, I'm sure it was nice to spend some time with him again. He left too soon."

"Mmm." He brought his own arm around her and kissed her forehead. "Have you spoken with Marshall?"

"Understandable," he said and kissed her forehead again. "Do you want me to go with you?"

"I think he'd appreciate honesty most of all," Bod said quietly. "He's an intelligent person. And though it might hurt, I think he'll be grateful in the long run."

"I don't think it would," he murmured quietly. "It's going to hurt, there's no doubt about that. But don't you think you owe it to Lionel to talk to Marshall too? If anything, it'll be closure that Marshall didn't get because of the nature of Lionel's passing."

"Kate, you can't think the worst about your brother when it comes to this," he said quietly. "You have to believe in him and you have to tell him. You have to give him a chance."

"Your brother isn't you, dearest," Bod chided lightly. "Just because you would get mad doesn't mean he would. But, I was with him the night he went to the memorial, Kate. And he was already starting to move on then and everything had just happened. Telling him this, it's not going to set him back. I promise."

"I don't know," he said, returning the embrace easily. "Time and patience?"

"Me?" Bod asked, raising an eyebrow just slightly. "What did he ask you to tell me?"
