Kat tilted her head. She knew her sister was just trying to help, and she appreciated the concern. But she was fine—most days. Softening her voice, she said, “I have fallen apart, and I’ve pieced myself back together. Truly. I will call Rita back tomorrow. Time just slipped away from me today.”
Julie nodded. “Okay.” She started to walk out and then turned. “I’m about to watch a movie on TV. Want to join me?”
“A black-and-white romance?” Kat asked warily.
“Yeah, so?” Julie asked, feigning insult as she crossed her arms at her chest.
Kat laughed. “Maybe next time. Thanks, though. I’m really glad you’re home.”
Julie smiled. “Me, too.”
“And next time I fall apart, I will definitely call you.”
“You’ve put me back together so many times. I’d love to pay you back one day. Good night.” She winked, and then shut Kat’s bedroom door.
“Good night.” Kat stared at her closed door for a long moment. She hadn’t lied. Everything was going perfect right now, better than perfect. And she was fine. She didn’t need to go to a support group to handle her issues, because she didn’t have any that she couldn’t handle on her own.
