They're Hales. I can't not worry about them. Lily stops by now and again to see Lucas, but it's awkward for both of us because...well. Kate. But I do try. And to her credit, she handles me being with Caroline instead like a champ. I just wish there was more I could do, you know? And I know they won't let me. It's just tough to have to sit on my hands.
To be honest with you, it's more disturbing to me to have to sit back and know people are hurting and there's fuck all I can do because they won't ask for my help for whatever their reasons. There's nearly nothing short of being hunted — because that's happened — that could disturb the peace I feel like I've worked hard for and earned since Neptune.
