"People are assholes sometimes," Kate muses. She doesn't curse much, but when she does, it means she's angry and means every word what she says. No one should judge anybody, especially Steph (and maybe Kate's a little biased now), for her choice. Maybe she was young, yes. Maybe she made a mistake, whatever. Shit happens and people need to make the best of it. Steph has a good heart; Kate would make anybody who thought less of her regret it.
