As she confessed, she felt a weight being lifted from her shoulders, only to be replaced as Michael got closer. Yes, she had said she loved him, but was it out of desperation or was it truly out of love? That was a fine line for Katherine, and she couldn’t tell which side of the line she stood on. All she knew was that she wanted to live, and she wanted to be safe.
But as much as she tried to convince herself he was trouble, so was she. Time after time she found herself separating him from his actions. How could someone so sweet be so heartless? How could someone with such a sweet smile be so cruel? It just didn’t make sense to her.
She froze as Michael grabbed her hand, apprehensively staring up at him. If you asked her in that moment, she wouldn’t be able to tell you which she was the most scared of, rejection or dying? Both options would likely end in her being killed, but the guarantee of death scared her much more- knowing that maybe she wasn’t as different as she thought. Maybe he couldn’t be helped. And more than anything, she just wanted to help him.
“I.. think I have an idea, yes,” though with the shake in her voice it sounded more like a question than an answer. “What is there that I don’t know?”
