Julia smiled around another bite of pizza as Nick joined them and she
swallowed looking for something to wash it down, her answer slipping out
before she caught herself and smiled sheepishly, hoping Kat would let her
slide this time "Sure sweetie... whatcha wanna know?"
Sweetie. She just called the girl sweetie. Not that Kat didn't resemble it
but the term was on a personal level and something most people waited a
while to use. She didn't know why but, maybe it was the initial reason as
to why Kat came to be in the house and Julia's own role in it, but she did
feel close to the girl. She wasn't going to question why though.
She looked at Nick and motioned for one of the ready made drinks someone had
set out on the nearby coffee table as she waited for Kat's question
"Please?"
"Well," Kat started slowly not know exactly how to ask this question. "What
it like being dead?" Hurriedly she added, "my daddy and brother
are......can they come home too?"
Derek had finished up in the control room and herded Alex out to eat. As
they reached the drawing room he over heard the young girl's question and
groaned inwardly. "Kat...," he said a mild warning tone in his voice. He
didn't want either one of them getting upset and wasn't certain this was an
appropriate conversations to be having.
