Kate's done feeling sorry for herself.
That's a total lie, but she's determined to try and if trying means that she has to lie to herself and others, then that's what she's going to do. She is not above lying in order to feel better. At this point, she isn't sure if it's helping at all, but she thinks it might be. She's out, anyway, out of the hut. There's a towel slung over her shoulder and she has a bathing suit on under her shorts and tank top, lunch and a book in her little bag.
She looks like a totally normal girl ready for a day at the beach. But that isn't where she's going. As she got ready that morning, that had been the original plan, but now that she's actually outside, she's found herself walking toward the waterfall instead. It's big and it's loud when she gets right up close and there's a little part of her that wants to try jumping off the top. Other people have done it, it can't be that dangerous, but it feels a little less normal than going to the beach.
She might be done feeling sorry for herself, but she isn't ready for normal.
"Hey," she says when she sees Harley on the boardwalk up ahead, then hurries to catch up with him. "Hey, come to the waterfall with me, okay?"
