Bill was more than used to members of his family popping in and out all round him, so he didn't jump when Kat was suddenly right beside him.
"H-h-h-huh-hey, Muh-muh-mmmMom. S-s-suh-suh-so, wuh-what d-d-d-do yuh-you th-th-think of Duh-duh-d-d-duh-deh-" he tried to ask, desperately trying to act like he was okay. But everything was conspiring against him, including the sudden return of his stutter, and he was beyond frustrated at his inability to speak once he'd gone through the door. He could even hear it in his head, words doubling up for no good reason, and he could not say the name of his home town.
He ran a hand through his hair, tugging at it in frustration, and couldn't help the annoyed noise he made. His stupid fucking stutter!
