Overland Park, KS, A Morning in May [Wednesday Fandom Time]

[vanillajello]

The stupid thing about going to Kansas was that time was much slower. Kate was painfully aware that while she'd already been gone from Fandom over two days, it had barely been 18 hours for her. Still, after a night at home, she was just about starting to feel a little less raw. The general nausea had abated, at least, as had the panic.

The guilt, however irrational she knew it to be, would probably stay for a while.

Stretching out on her bed, Kate reached to get her phone from the nightstand, then turned it on. For a moment, she thought about making a call – to Bod, to Jack, to Mitchell, to Hannibal, to anyone – but she decided against it, unable to really decide what it was she wanted to say to any one of them. (Except maybe Hannibal. There was a certain amount of I get it now present.) She put the phone down on the bed next to her.

She'd be available now; that'd have to be enough.

[ooc: NFB, but open for phone calls and texts! Whoo, taking advantage of my 1,5 days at home.]

"You better," she said as she let him go. "I'll be here. Wondering what it is that I'm a dirty master of."

"I'm sure you'll come up with several theories," he said and gave her another kiss. "I'll be back soon. I love you."

He started backing towards the portal, giving her a wave as he did.

"I love you too," she called, giving him a little wave back, then wrapping her arms around herself. "You're a master of dirty things too. Don't blush too hard when you're going through my underwear drawer."

Well, now he was going to blush for certain. Bod laughed and then disappeared into the portal. He'd be back though after going through her underwear and blushing himself into a pile of ash.

And Kate would still be right there waiting for him, soaking up the warmth of the sunlight and keeping an eye out for errant neighbours to keep them from wandering too close. And once he'd be back they'd eat and not do anything productive until someone else came home.

The week was turning out a little better than it had started. She'd makes sure to enjoy it.
