Except Kate doesn't get to get turned upside down anymore. She doesn't get to break under pressure and be self-destructive. No binge-drinking, no serial one-night stands, no picking fights, not even sleeping til noon. Lilo means Kate has to cope like a grown up even when Will and Jimmy and Bella don't remember her. Even when Savannah's seeing flashes of the boy who raped her and he's going to show up here for real.
Kate doesn't get to lose it completely. She won't. She just won't. Be. Her mom.
So she jerks her chin at him and puts on a smile. "Don't worry about it. She's going to remember again and we'll take care of her til she does."
