Kate lifts her chin to look him in the eyes again, solid. "I couldn't come here, be with you, not when I was like that. I had to finish it." Which she did. She was putting the last thing where it would be found, not stealing anything else. They caught her because Will tipped them off and because she got sloppy, maybe on purpose. "Had to do it for me, not because you'd think less of me."
There. Maybe she's shaking and feels like she wants to bolt but it's said. She doesn't want to be the old Kate anymore. And...he knows. It matters what he thinks of her. It matters a lot.
"Came back..." Her voice drops and her fingers curl against his skin. "You know me." She shrugs, awkward with the truth after so many lies, but comfortable with him. Too comfortable. "And I just...really missed you."
