Because we /had to/ post ¼ of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pls Katherine was one of the last people to board the train, because his father had forgotten to take something... which wasn't surprising at all. And then, a fight erupted between her mother and father, so his father had been too shaky to drive for a while, which made her mother even angrier...
None of this mattered though, because she was on the train and was prepared to truly interact with NO ONE this time. Getting on the train late was useful: everyone had picked where they wanted to sit, so she could find an empty compartment without fearing that someone would barge in. And so it happened: she quickly snuck in the first empty one she found, and locked the door both magically, and with the lock she had brought with her.
When she said she wanted to be alone, she meant it, and had taken the matters in her hands now.
Ahhhhhhhhh, being aloooooone! She allowed herself a small smile of victory and lay down on one of the seats.
This was great! |
