The one upshot of being starved was it cooled her anger quickly. It was kind of hard to be livid when Kate could barely keep her eyes open. After leaving Declan’s house, Kate camped out on the couch and caught up on two weeks worth of shows recorded on her DVR. Watching TV helped distract her from both not eating for the day and the argument with Declan. An hour before her movie date with Jared, she gained enough motivation to take a shower and throw on a pair of jeans and a tank top. Deciding she looked way too boring for a date with her new boyfriend, she dressed up the outfit with a funky gold necklace and matching hoop earrings.

Jared’s arms around her when he arrived to pick her up for their date felt like a welcome balm to her problems. She held on for several minutes while he trailed a finger down her bare arm. She shivered under his touch. He inquired softly, “Are you sure you’re up for a movie?”

“Two hours to turn my brain off sounds heavenly,” she sighed.

She filled him in on Max and her angst over not being able to help him sooner. Throughout the day, Kate had kept seeing Max’s tortured face in her head. She wondered how much of the abuse could’ve been prevented if she had only revealed his abductor sooner. Jared said all the right things and agreed with her mother’s assessment of her putting too much pressure on herself to save everyone. During the exchange, Kate purposely hadn’t brought up Declan.

Jared would agree with her reaction to Declan’s unconventional job offer. Yet, something was holding her back from admitting everything to him. It made Kate consider the idea that a part of her wanted to accept his proposal. Working with another psychic would mean more cases could be solved. Not to mention, he was right about her future prospects. Her part-time job at the doctor’s office didn’t pay much and she was majoring in English at a two-year college. Since a teaching career didn’t feel like a right fit for her, she wouldn’t have many job offers once she did graduate. Although Kate loathed admitting it, maybe some of her father’s past accusations had merit. He had told her to stop floundering and start making some serious decisions about her future. However, collecting reward purses was probably not what Robert Edwards had in mind.

When they arrived at the movie theater, Jared possessed another piece of her heart. Although Kate insisted he get a snack, he skipped the popcorn since she refused to get anything. They grabbed a couple of seats in the rear and she immediately rested her head against his shoulder. “How do people do this?” she moaned. “I would definitely get kicked out of any religion where fasting was involved.”

“How about we get something to eat after here?” Jared suggested and kissed the top of her head. “I think you’re good, it looks like you lost at least ten pounds today.
