"I'm sorry," is the first thing I say when he finally answers the phone. I called him three times and he's only answering now. He must be upset. "Hey Mia, are you okay? You had me worried sick. You left in such a rush I thought something happened," I can't help but smile at his worried tone. I feel like such a bigger ass now for not saying anything to him when I left. "I'm great yes. I thought you were mad at me. I'm so sorry for leaving like that. You've gotta let me make it up to you!" I say dramatically.

He snapped. “No, I just think that even earlier too, you were mad with me because I was always following around, and now when I am not, you are calling me names. Next what I will be, currently I am an attention whore, then I might be something bigger, like what, the “S” word. Should I spell it for you?” I wheeze. “Don’t put words in my mouth. You know what I am trying to say.” “I am not putting words in your mouth. I am just repeating what you have just said to me.”

she whimpers, staring at Kate. "None of this was your fault; you don’t have to blame yourself for anything," Lady Sharma told her. Kate was so confused—what is Lady Sharma talking about?
