- About the Author
Oh Percy, Percy, no. Dont I give you everything? Dont I let you have whatever you want? Kaitlins your cousin. Shes in mourning; please leave her alone.
Honestly, Mother, the young man said with an offended sniff. Youd think I was some ogre trying to throw myself at her.
Percy, youre cousins!
It was on those words that Kaitlin fled back up the stairs. Marcail was a very heavy sleeper so Kaitlin didnt attempt to wake her before scooping her up and heading across the hall to Seans room. Sean was down to his pants in his preparation for bed and watched in surprise as his sister flew into the room and shut the door.
Kate, what is the matter with you?
Sean, she panted as she lay Marcail on the bed. Try to wake her while I find that newspaper you had earlier.
Katie, what
Just do it! she commanded sharply, but Sean just stood gaping at her. Kate turned the lamp high and sat on the floor beside the bed. The rustle of papers was loud in the still room. Here it is! Kate finally said.

Kaitlin looked over at Sean in triumph. Sean stared at her in complete confusion, which reminded Kate that he hadnt heard any of the conversation downstairs. She took a deep breath and told him the whole story.
Kate, I think you could get that job but I dont think we need to move away. I mean Percy hasnt really done anything, and you told me you keep your distance.
So you think Im overreacting?
Yes, I guess I do.
Kates shoulders slumped. When I realized Id caused an argument between Aunt Maureen and Percy I felt terrible and then when Percy practically said he loved me, I panicked.
Its okay, Kate. They were silent for a moment and then Sean tried to encourage his older sister. I guess its kind of nice to know that you could get a job if you needed to. Santa Rosa is that nice town that Aunt Maureen told us about, isnt it?
She said she used to have friends there and she talked like it wasnt too far away.
Marcail had slept through the entire episode as well as Sean carrying her back to her bed. He spoke to Kaitlin before he took himself off to bed.
I can see why it would upset you, Kate, but I think youll be okay. If you want, I can sleep in here with you.
No Sean, its all right. Im probably just too tired.
Okay. Good night Kate.
Good night Sean, and thanks.
It was some time before Kaitlin could sleep but as she prayed she became totally convinced that she had overreacted, which only made the incident that happened the next day even more upsetting.

Ive been wanting to talk with you, Kaitlin.
