[This is it. This will be the day Kate comes back. It's got to be, because it's been almost a week, and Hope said it takes a few days for him to get people back on their feet.
So why is it so hard to walk into the temple today? Well... because she knows what getting stuck mourning will do to a person. She's seen it happen, seen people wither away in their grief. That's not Faith's way -- it's never been, because she needs to be around, needs to move and do and laugh -- but sometimes, she thinks about it. What if she changed? What if this is the thing that breaks her? What if--
She looks up when a voice calls to her, immediately recognizing Sam. (Kate's... friend. Kate's more than friend.) Any other day, she'd throw a teasing remark at him about the whole thing, but she can't find the strength to. She's not there yet. She's too busy hanging on to Hope's assertion that Kate will come back soon.]
Hiya. [She tries for a smile; it comes out small and shaky.] Here to wait for her too?
