It's a huge sign of how much Kate trusts Steph enough to admit what happened to her. The only other people who know are her therapist and Jessica. It's a secret Kate's held to her chest, partly out shame and some other feelings she hasn't quite figured out yet. Their friendship, their relationship, is on another level now, one that takes up more of Kate's life.

Steph saying sorry just brushes past Kate. Not that she's ignoring the emotion behind it, but no matter how many people say that word, it fixes nothing. It doesn't stop the nightmares, the shiver of fear every time Kate walks past that park, the fear of going into that park, the times she beat herself up over what she could have, should have done differently.

"Even if I'm not okay, I don't think it'll stop you," she replies as she turns back around, this time choosing to sit on the windowsill. Not when Steph has already did it a second time. Her eyes threaten to water up, though her voice is still and strong as ever. "I don't hate you for it. You're still my friend. I just can't be around when it happens or hear about it. It's stupid, but I want to remain ignorant on some things. Keep the bliss around."
