"I'm sure," Katie promised. "Sometimes art just belongs to someone, and
this just belongs to you." She paused, thoughtful. "It's hard, right? When
they're who you know, but they're not quite who you know. Like Sam." She
pointed Sam out, in case Dani didn't know him. "There's a version of him
where I'm from, we were close, but where he's from, we had this different
relationship. He looks at me and sees a whole lifetime I don't know, and
I'm so glad he's here but I miss the one I knew, you know? But it's also so
weird, all of it." Maybe she was saying this all wrong; maybe she should
have introduced herself properly, as Jean; maybe everything she said
sounded harsh. But it was hard, and she had felt lonely in a way she
couldn't describe, not sharing a history with these people she... you
know... shared history with.
