Under other circumstances, it might have amused her to see John sitting there, sopping up his drink, but this time Kit felt a pang of guilt for being the cause of such distress. She knew how he felt, really, or at least she suspected she did; the storm of emotion was probably much the same she'd experienced when Claire had first told her John had been by to see her.
His questions were no doubt overwhelming for both of them, but she knew she owed him some explanation. She only wished she had a proper one to give.
"Asked around a wee bit," she said, thinking she'd probably already got Chas in enough trouble without naming him as the culprit. "Just - I dunno. Wanted to see you in one piece, I guess. I heard you... well."
Kit was used to watching John make a bit of a fool of himself, really; it had happened often enough in their past. It was rare, though, that it went both ways.
"I'm sorry," she said finally. "I'd have called, if I'd known..." Where you were, she didn't finish, or who you were with.
