Katherine walked down the front steps to the sidewalk and started in the direction she knew would eventually lead them to the park. She didn't see this conversation ending in an invitation back to his place, so she decided to keep it all on neutral ground.
She had no idea how to start this off. She was fidgeting a bit with a loose string on the end of her shirt as she tried to figure it all out. "How have things been, while I was gone?" Maybe it wasn't the best ice breaker, but it was all she had, short of diving right into discussing Elijah and that was definitely a bad way to kick it off.
