Rachel continued to rub her back soothingly and hold her close "How do you
figure you messed up? You're here. I'd say that ranks up there as doing
something right." She leaned in close and whispered the rest into her hair
"And you broke his hold over me, kiddo. In my books that's better than
good."
This made Kat feel a little better, but didn't take away the guilt she felt.
"I thought Julia was hurting us," she confessed. "Derek told me it wasn't
her, but I didn't listen for a long time. I thought a whole lot of mean
things about her and....that's how come he got me. I'm sorry mommy, it's
all my fault!"
