Chapter 24: Kat Explains
I decided to do my own thing and forget about Ben Cutter altogether. It was my life, and no one could do me any better than myself. I worked, read a few mysteries, and watched some great movies. I took long walks through the snow, enjoyed evenings at various coffee bars, and drank a little too much. I even went to a gay bar called Under Spartan, which had the best cocktails on the planet. When two guys asked me out, I politely declined, enjoying my time alone. A third guy asked me out and wanted to kiss me, calling me the naughtiest names that I conceived as flattering. The kiss never happened and nor did a date with him, but I did suck up all his compliments, pleased.
Hays visited me when the temperature started to warm and the snow along the lake began to melt.
