I oken by the sunlight strea at my watch, I saas already nine, which et ready for the afternoon when I would head down to the courthouse and give my testimony I rolled over and saw Kate was already up She must have woken when Sophie did and had already taken her downstairs

I got up and had a quick shower, then pulled onmy way downstairs to find theown and slippers, a sweater pulled around her shoulders She smiled when she sawhile -- all the publicity and assault ondown the foundation I could take it for the rest ofas I had her and Sophia

I shrugged "I' fine, if that's what you mean Don't know if I' up at the courthouse, to be honest Walk across hot stones, run the gauntlet at West Point, scale the mountains at Machu Pichu But I'll do it"

She brought her own plate of food over and sat beside s "Just keep telling yourself that it'll be thirty minutes and then it's over Finished You can put this whole episode behind you"
