SOMEHOW, KATIE GOT through the rest of the show — and the meet and greet — and back to her room. She had it to herself tonight; Natalya was catching a late flight out of JFK. Which would have been perfect, if Brendan was staying with her. But he wasn’t, at least not for the night. After he made sure she was settled, asked repeatedly if she wanted him to get Dr. Meyer, and offered to get her anything she needed from her suitcase, he finally left with a kiss to her cheek and a worried frown.
Katie almost asked him to stay. The tour was over, her knee was no longer a problem she could pretend was going to go away, and maybe nothing mattered anymore. But she needed to figure out what to do. She didn’t want Brendan there to fret over her or complicate whatever her decision was.
In the morning
