"Yeah," Kate says again but she's not convinced. It does get a reaction out of her. Every time. She's like lightning in a bottle when she's got nowhere to run to and everything to run from. "I just wonder about it. Who this guy is, you know?" Who he'd have to be, for her to want to get married to him. "What happened that changed everything so much for me?"

She shrugs, and even though it's not a so what kind of question. This bracelet's here. It means at least in some world, it's probably real. She probably is engaged to this guy. Just like in some world she got with Will and had a kid with him. Maybe it shouldn't matter, because Kate's always been a fuck destiny, I'll make my own destiny kind of girl. But it just does.
