This entire time, Katherine's face had been a perfect mask. Rather than falling apart of the news of her parents' deaths, she remained the picture of calm. Perhaps the only sign that this was different from any other night was the way she treated her siblings, being more affectionate with them than she normally would and even offering her bungalow up to them to stay in for the night. That didn't mean that she was unaffected, herself, by what had happened. On the inside, Katherine was a mess. No matter how much they fought, Katherine had loved her parents. She could scarcely believe they were truly gone. She had covertly texted Elijah earlier to warn him not to come by her place. His arrival would have brought up too many questions, ones she knew he was not yet prepared to answer. I'll come to you and explain as soon as I can, she'd texted, though it would be a few hours before she could do so. At first opportunity, she slipped away, sneaking out of the apartment and making the relatively short trip to Elijah's. Katherine still hadn't cried, but once he opened his door to her, she finally let that mask slip. "My parents-" she started at his questioning gaze, but that was all she could get out before she broke. Tears streamed down her face and she flung her arms around him. |
