I'm out the door before Katherine finishes speaking.
Thomas is still in the hospital, but I left Bella with him. She'd understand.
Katherine needs me.
For the first time in six months, that's the only thing that matters.
I drive recklessly through Manhattan - running red lights and not caring about traffic laws or consequences. Just getting to her.
She sounded terrified on the phone. Katherine, who faced down Morrison and Charles Sterling without flinching. Terrified.
Someone threatened her, and I'm about to find out who's signing their own death warrant.
At Susan's building, I take the stairs three at a time; I couldn't wait for the elevator.
Katherine opens the door before I can knock.
We stare at each other. First time face-to-face since the hotel. Since the rain incident when she gave me back her ring.
She looks exhausted. Beautiful but exhausted.
"Tony-"
I pull her into my arms. She stiffens for a moment, then melts against me.
"I'm staying," I hear her say.
