Abby hated hearing about the bad things that had happened to her brother, and as Kate explained, she wished even more so that she could have been there for him. She had replayed the scene from her childhood over and over in her head, when she had been taken from her family. Her attention was once more caught by Kate's questions.<br/><br/>"I'm fine, really." She gave Kate a small smile to try and prove it. "How do you do it Kate? How do you not just snap when your patience has worn thin? How can you take all of us in so easily and not make a big deal when one takes off, another needs so much work, and still another starts off getting to know you by lashing out?" Abby shook her head, letting her gaze turn to the floor at Kate's last question.<br/><br/>"Too long, much too long."
