We return to Kat's perspective just as she left Lily's house.
-------------------------
As the group walked away from Lily's house Kat tried to suppress her worry. She knew well enough that Evaline's dislike for her had never translated to issues with Lily outside of disparaging her choice of friends but Kat couldn't help but feel like she'd left her frien- girlfriend to the sharks.
*She'll be fine. Lily lives with Evaline, she has experience dealing with this… but it's a lot to take in. I wish we weren't asked to leave. Then again… maybe my presence would have made this worse. I doubt I'd let her insult Lily at all and Evaline is more than willing to fight with me. It would probably be best if the conversation stayed calm and quiet for everyone involved.*
