Kat shifted her wieght slightly and looked down at her feet nervously.  She
glanced up at Nick and then back to Julia.  "It's just.....I see stuff
sometimes.  And when I touched you I saw something."  The little girl was
terrified of hurting Julia's feelings.  She really liked her and didn't want
to scare her away.  Kat looked back at Nick, "I saw a lady who looked like
her, but she wasn't.  I know she wasn't.  It was just sort of wierd."
