Talking with Harry helped cheer her up a bit-she knew she was friends with him for a reason.

"Ah," she remarked. "But you never had to grow up with an army officer for a dad-I've been making my bed army style since I was five years old."

Somewhere during the conversation, Max started getting bored and cocked his head to the woods. His ears picked up a sound and he ran off for the hunt.

"I've had some shitty luck." She said. "My first real love is now six feet under, the admirer after him is a soul-sucking bastard.." She let out a sigh. "And the man I'm in love with now-we can only be together as long as the island allows."

Kinda ironic: She could only be with Scorpion for a few years at the most and then never be with him again, whereas Harry had been away from Kitty for years but still had the hope of being reunited with her.

She thought to change the subject. "You're birthday's coming up pretty soon, isn't it?"
