As soon as Kate had woken up all normal and seventeen again, she'd taken off.

No, she wasn't particularly proud of that, but it had felt necessary at that particular moment. She'd needed to feel like a borderline adult again, and that meant doing shit on her own because she could. Not that her weetiny seven-year-old self hadn't done quite a bit of that as well, since her parents hadn't been around and Bod wasn't quite enough of an authority figure. But this was different, this was her reasserting control over herself and her life. She loved going out on her own and answering to no one, just like she loved living out here, away from Kansas, away from a daily life full of alters and minor instability. Right? Right.

Except right now, she missed her family like crazy. She didn't know what to do with that feeling.

She'd found a café that looked nice enough and settled at a table by the window with her gigantic cup of coffee and an equally oversized muffin. She'd just... sit here and eat and drink and think, for a while.
