‘ YOU DON’T HAVE a choice anymore, seth. ’ words are surprisingly hard, bitten out in a way that screams of her own resignation. kate’s been doing nothing but getting hurt ever since that very first day, gecko boys in her family’s rv & blood in the twister. she told him once, she’ll tell him again - that girl is long gone. she’s got a thicker skin now, at least that’s what she likes to think - she’s still so soft in the center, hard shell not quite solid enough to fully protect. hell & back isn’t enough to convince her to lose that gentleness completely. green eyes are both melancholic & reassuring, a small smile intended to comfort curving her lips. ‘ i’ll be FINE. you don’t have to WORRY about me. i can take care of myself now. ’
