Kitty had thought she'd have until tomorrow to have this conversation, so hearing his voice kind of made her feel like a hollow pit had opened up in her stomach and she decided she would trade intangibility in a second for the power to make her eyes not puffy.

She sat up, turned off the TV, took a deep breath and got up to open the door. And then she folded her arms and tried for light, with a "And how was your weekend?"

Okay, so "light" didn't really happen there.
