[For Auggie] Jan. 14: Just what God needs, one more victim

When Kate wakes to a quiet hut instead of a creaky Victorian house, sun on her face instead of frozen toes, she's not sure whether to freak the fuck out, or just enjoy it. Roll and stretch proves she's back to boyshorts and t-shirts and enjoying it wins out. Too bad Declan's not here to enjoy warm naked skin without piles of blankets.

Later.

She rolls out of bed and throws on cutoffs and a tank, straps a blade on her thigh in case the change set the dinosaurs free, pulls on her boots and five minutes later she's on her way to the Compound for breakfast and to get any news she needs. Plus see if Declan left her anything interesting in her mailbox last night. Sometimes he does.

Half an hour and a shower later, there's nothing there and she drops in to grab breakfast. She's not due at the Children's Office today, so there's coffee, lots of coffee, in mugs, oh god, in her future. Then maybe she'll find Steve about starting up training and surfing lessons again.

She's just got her first cup when she spots Auggie looking kind of out of sorts. Maybe he's having trouble with readjusting or something? "Hey, gorgeous," she calls across to him. "Want some coffee?"
