"Exactly!" Kate barks and grabs her bottle. She gets halfway up before she realizes there's nowhere to go. Nowhere to go to get away from this Will who isn't Will. Nowhere far enough to run away from any of this. The island's smaller than the city of Chicago, but she could hide there. She could get lost there for years. Long enough for even Will to give up looking for her.
She drops down again, bottle between her knees. Because it's here or Declan. Declan's a different problem.
"If you were you, you wouldn't have to ask. You'd know. You'd tell me why I'm like this. And I would...stop. I would listen. But you don't know. Tesla doesn't care. Magnus needs me too much. Declan cares too much. And you don't know anything." She takes a long swallow off the bottle because the whiskey burn stops the tears. For now.
