Suite in the Arms, Saturday Morning

Kathy knew that she was probably one of the very few who thought this way, but the weekend after prom was pretty much her favorite time of year. Certainly her favorite of all the weird tricks the island pulled.

So late last night, she and Dante had decamped from Limbo City to the hotel; Anders had an important surgery that was expected to last hours, but he'd promised to come along if he could. But for now, it was just the two of them and...well, however many happened to show up.

"Wonder who we'll get this year," Kathy murmured, looking out the window towards the park.

"Technically, your bio grandpa was Christian," Kathy said with a half-grin. "He just didn't really care, so your grandma raised us Buddhist, the way her family had been raised."

Not that Kathy had been all that devout of a Buddhist, either. She'd been too busy believing in people to worry about metaphysics. Even now, knowing Hell and angels were real hadn't actually made her believe in them.

"That was one of the reasons my grandparents had been against the match and why we, eventually, ended up in America."

Huh. She wondered if Evie knew any of this stuff. She was pretty sure Dante didn't.

"Really?" Evie looked interested in spite of herself. "You talk sometimes about how your parents wouldn't have liked you being with Dad and--" she smirked "Dad, junior but not that their parents didn't approve."

She didn't talk about Evie's Korean grandparents at all. Not really.

Kathy smiled down at her. "Yup. My dad's family was Christian and lived in the city and my Mom's family was Buddhist and lived in a small village on the coast. They saved to put Mom through college and that's where she met Dad. Except his family wanted him to marry a Christian with money." She shrugged. "But they were in love, so they got married. After a couple of years, they decided to immigrate to America because they were tired of Dad's family being dicks."

Laughing, she added, "And from there, I was born, met your dad, and here you are."
