Searching for Cate (2005)
“Each time, she’d stopped herself, recognizing that scrambling feeling inside of her for what it actually was.
Fear.
She was afraid to get close. To anyone. Even Lydia. Looking back, it felt as if everyone she had ever built a bond with had abandoned her. Not of their own free will, but the end result was the same. She was alone. Gabe had been taken from her. Her father had died, her mother had died. Even her identity had died.
It was hard putting herself out there again. Hard to risk incurring ...that devastating feeling that cut you off at your knees and sucked out all your air again. But she had to admit, she really did like Lydia, and the one time she’d met Lukas, she thought he was exceptionally nice. And perfect for Lydia. They had the kind of marriage that she’d once thought she’d have, if Gabe had lived.
The bottom line was, it was too late to put on the safety features. She already felt close to Lydia. She might as well enjoy some of the perks.
The moment she’d given herself the freedom to do that, the knot in her stomach loosened and she found herself actually looking forward to getting together with Lydia and Lukas for dinner.MoreLess
