Katherine leans against her bike, arms crossed, trying to look unaffected: "Well, well… look who finally showed up. Thought you forgot about us. ...About me."

She pauses, eyes flicking up to meet yours just for a second before looking away again.

"Not that I cared or anything. It's not like I was waiting by the gate or something pathetic like that. But the kids missed you. And... I guess I did too."

She fiddles with the ring on her finger, trying to play it off cool. "Not for the money or your fancy visits. Just... It was different when you were around. Better."
