Kate almost ran into Darlene when she came out of the bathroom.<br/><br/><em>“Was she listening at the door?”</em>She asked herself.<br/><br/>Smiling she offered the bathroom to the woman, who was dressed as if she was ready for work, then brushed past her and headed towards the living room.  When Darlene followed, Kate’s smile broadened slightly.  This woman was touchy and probably felt Kate was invading her space and her assumed love interest.  This fact tweaked her sense of chaos even more.  In reality she harbored no ill will towards the woman; hell she had only just met her, but her instincts told her the next six months could turn into a sit-com or a reality show from hell depending on how everyone played their parts.<br/><br/>When Kate got to the living room Max was talking to Billy who still seemed wired.  She overheard Max explaining that he and her had only gone out for coffee a few times and that he really didn’t know…she didn’t catch the last part.  She stood for a second trying to decide where to sit.  She could sit on the couch again between Max and Billy or in the big overstuffed chair facing the TV.  She noticed Darlene was leaning against the wall studying her like she was from Mars or something.  She chose the chair and sat down letting out a long, deep sigh.<br/><br/>Max looked over and smiled at her then quickly looked away.  Was he embarrassed about something?  Kate studied him for a moment.  He was truly handsome and kept himself in shape and she could have never guessed his being an FBI agent.  It kind of changed her opinion of him, which had always been good, but this just made it better.<br/><br/><em>“Married with two kids?”</em>She thought, and then shrugged.<em>“Oh well.” </em><br/><br/>She turned her attention to Billy.  He had really done a lot of work to change his body.  He was really buffed and sitting there without a shirt with those pecks, biceps and abs made her squirm slightly.  But that did not erase what he had witnessed.  She looked at the floor.  Doubts about the arrangement seeped into her mind again.  One thought led to another.  What did that therapist call it?  Domino’s falling.  One dark thought triggered another and then another and before you knew it the razor blades were out or the pills started looking like a viable escape pod.  Kate blinked and snapped herself out of it.  She glanced at Darlene and smiled sweetly.<br/><br/>Chaos.<br/><br/>Leaning over she started unlacing her boots.<br/><br/><br/>“So Uncle Billy?  Do I stay in the same bedroom?”   She kept her gaze on Darlene as she asked the question.<br/><br/>“You know…the one across from yours?”<br/><br/><br/>
