Katie had to keep repeating herself as she pushed back with people saying "Excuse me," and "Pardon me" over and over. It became tedious. She was sure she felt someone grab her ass too but she kept pushing forward till she finally spotted Demelza as she had left her. A part of Katie wished that she could crack that woman's world, be apart it. Demelza didn't look as though she wanted to let anyone be apart of it though.
Coming up beside her, Katie has to be a bit closer then before since others had intruded on the space. She was sure if Demelza though she was too close, she would say so.
