Owing Oneself to be Happy

Chris gazed at Katherine and turned to face her. Seeing her up close like this again and being able to talk to her felt new and familiar at the same time. He didn't think that there would ever come a time when they would be able to talk to each other without having the need to threaten or point guns. He knew that they couldn't be truly like how they were in the past, however, he was already more than happy that he could stay near her.

This unexpected turn of events changed a lot of things and he didn't know to what extent they would be able to work together, judging by the fact that he and Damien could barely be in the same room. At first, he didn't want to get her involved in his plan. But now that this happened, he couldn't think of any other way.

Noticing that he was staring at her, Katherine arched a brow in question. "What?"

"Nothing… I… I just thought that you were the same, yet it seems like you've changed a lot."
