"I caught him when he fell." Julia answered simply, offering Kat her hand
and giving Nick a strange look. He had never minded the good ribbing before
but wasn't going to push "How about we get you back to your room before your
mom finds out we're playing hooky. We can talk some more in the morning
over cereal."
Her expression, when she shot it to Nick when Kat wasn't looking asked what
was wrong but she didn't ask it out loud as she turned and let Kat lead her
to where her room was.
Kat took her hand, "I'd rather talk over waffled," she replied grinning.
She didn't say anything about Julia saving Nick, because she could feel the
sudden tension and she didn't want to upset anyone, especially Nick. She
liked Julia very much, but she'd jut met the woman and she loved Nick. The
little girl glanced up at him hoping he'd come with them and then started
down to her room. She had kind of hoped that he'd tell her story, but if he
was all of a sudden so interested in her being in bed, she had a feeling he
probably wouldn't. "This is it," Kat told Julia taking her inside and
climbing up on the bed.
