"Yes," Kat replied slowly. She hadn't really talked about that very much
with anyone. "Daddy brought me an angel doll at Christmas and I saw them
both. He said he couldn't come back, but you did. So, I thought he might
be wrong. He could have been wrong." Kat still didn't understand why Julia
got to come back. "If you came back, why can't anybody who wants to do it?"
This was the hard part. Julia knew it and was sure Kat's mother knew it.
She looked at the girl asking her with hope in her eyes and leaned in
closer, holding the girl's hands in her own as she tried to explain.
"Your Dad wasn't wrong, hon. He can't come back like that." she stressed
the last two words so that Kat would pick up on it especially "But he does
come back every day. He watches over you when you let him. The place he's
in let's him stay there to so that he can do that... because that's where
he's happiest; when he's watching you and your mom."
Julia had no idea why she knew these things but she'd bank on it that it was
true. She didn't know about Connor though. She hadn't felt anything about
the boy...
"I was allowed back," she tried to explain the reason she knew to be true
but knew it wasn't the full truth "Because I had to come back. I wasn't
happy..." that was lame, she knew, so she tried something else "And it
wasn't my time." That explained it better "The... the bad man that tried
to hurt you and your mom... do you remember him?" She looked at Rachel,
promising with her gaze that she wouldn't say anything a girl Kat's age
shouldn't hear before looking back at Kat.
Kat's face fell as Julia talked, but she didn't cry. She just felt
incredibly disappointed. It wasn't fair. She was glad that her daddy was
happy, but she didn't see any reason why he wouldn't be happier to be back
with his family again. Kat thought that she'd much rather be with them,
then watching them from some place really far away, but maybe grownups
thought differently. They did about a lot of things and that might not
change just because you die. It just made her feel even more lonesome for
them. The only bright thought was that Miranda could help her fix
everything. She had said that they could have everything they wanted, so
there was still hope.
Kat's face paled slightly at the mention of the man in Ireland. She hated
thinking about him, because he was one of the scariest things she'd ever
seen. "Yes, I remember him." Her small hands gripped Julia's more tightly.
