Chapter 40: Chapter 40: KAT

"Mom, stop it, Colton is so not what you're thinking. He's so...just so everything."

"Yes, but don't you think you've gone into this situation too quickly? I mean for heavens sake Katarina you just came out of a very traumatic situation. How do you know it's not just PTSD, or something like that?"

"Mom, seriously, for the first time since that whole nightmare, I feel like me only ten times better. It's almost like I was waiting for him all my life, and it wouldn't have mattered if this tragedy had occurred or not. I just know we would've found each other somehow. He makes me feel whole, mom, in a way that I never thought I ever could again."

"And I couldn't do that?"

"I'm sorry that this hurts you, mom, but no. It's him, I needed him, I promise you that everything is okay. He's just...he's the missing part of me."

Mom turned and looked through the glass at Colton, "But he's so much older than you are, baby."
