Subject: OMG!!!!

Ana, just heard about the fire at Christian's office. Do you think it's arson?

K xox

Rose is online! I jump on to my newfound toy - Skype messaging -

and see that she's available. I quickly type a message.

Ana: Hey are you there?

Kate: YES, Ana! How are you? How's the honeymoon? Did you see my e-mail? Does Christian know about the fire?

Ana: I'm good. Honeymoon's great. Yes, I saw your e-mail. Yes, Christian knows.

Kate: I thought he would. News is sketchy on what happened. And Elliot won't tell me anything. 

Ana: Are you fishing for a story?

Kate: You know me too well.

Ana: Christian hasn't told me much.

Kate: Elliot heard from Grace!

Oh no - I'm sure Christian doesn't want this broadcast all over Seattle. I try my patented distract-tenacious-Kavanagh technique. Ana: How are Elliot and Ethan?

Kate: Ethan has been accepted into the psych course at Seattle for his master's degree. Elliot is adorable. Ana: Way to go, Ethan.

Kate: How's our favorite ex-dom?

Ana: Kate!

Kate: What?

Ana: YOU KNOW WHAT!

Kate: K. Sorry

Ana: He's fine. More than fine. 

Kate: Well, as long as you're happy, I'm happy.

Ana: I'm blissfully happy.

Kate:  I have to run. Can we talk later?
