At first, Rebecca just assumes that Kate hasn't been returning her texts. Which is fine, Kate seems to be leading a pretty happy life and she has a husband and a bunch of other people to worry about. Rebecca chooses not to push and send any more texts than one or so a day, but before she knows it it's been something like a week without a response.
And she starts to worry.
If Kate had a problem with her, she'd just say it to Rebecca's face. She's not the kind of person to hide behind technology and pretend like everything's fine. So, out of fear that maybe everything's not, Rebecca does something rare in this day and age: she makes a phone call.
...and the response is a dead line.
She's heard about this and she knows what it means. Maybe she and Kate weren't super incredible best friends forever, but they were close and Kate had been Rebecca's best friend here. Kate was also the first person to befriend her here – more than that, she'd taken care of Rebecca at one of the worst moments in her entire life. And then she'd been there again and again.
And now she's gone.
They all leave.
Without Kate to call or text or Dr Akopian or Paula, Rebecca does the thing she's been telling herself not to do with each blow that Darrow has sent her way. She goes to a bar. A really, fancy and anachronistic bar that she hopes serves anything fruity with a shot of vodka.
Heading straight over to the bartender, she's momentarily taken aback by the fact she's looking at someone she knows. Marius.
On a day when she's lost a friend, she finds herself reminded that she has another.
"Hey."
And she starts to worry.
