Life wasn’t so bad here. Mostly. If you could forget about the bizarre happenings and life-changing dreams which she’d somehow managed to avoid so far. Kinda made her the freak around here. Strange place, California. Better than Chicago though. She’d gotten too cocky, made too many enemies.
But here? Here she had a life. A job. A real one. Hell, she was even making a friend or two. “Not really like you, Kate,” she muttered softly, absently drumming her fingers against her leg.
She guessed there was a first time for everything.
She’d never really thought of herself as the settling down type. Probably wasn’t. But taking a break now and then couldn’t hurt, right? She had her brother to think about, someone other than herself for a change. For him, she could be different. Couldn’t she?
Maybe she couldn’t. Maybe she was just kidding herself. But maybe she could live with that. At least she was trying.
It was still tempting, every time she saw an easy mark. And this town was loaded with them. But she was keeping it together. This time could be different, better. A real chance to start over.
Wasn’t that all she really wanted?
(Find her basically anywhere you'd like. I'm flexible. We'll roll with it. She's busy thinking and not paying attention, so you can even feel free to literally run into her if you want. Or overhear her talking to herself. Or whatever, basically. Come say hi.)
