Home had been hard, there was no denying that, but Kate would have taken it any day over the things that Hermione and the others had gone through. At least she was aware enough to know that, to know she'd had it relatively easy in comparison. There was nothing Alice could do that would put her in that much danger. Even when her mom was convinced she'd done the worst thing in the world, at least both her kids had still been alive.
"I guess no one expects stuff like that," she said, frowning a little. Even when you were immersed in it, it had to be scary, she figured. All that stuff happening around you, happening to you. "You don't see a lot of death in Overland Park. Not even a lot of violence. Our neighbour killed himself, but that was pretty much the scariest thing to ever happen around us."
There was Lionel's death, of course, but she hadn't been there for it. Hearing about it second hand was still scary, still something she didn't like thinking about very much, most especially because he was here now. Here and alive and in tact.
