Buster's POV

So Harry got Mom some tickets to a Metropolis game, and she had an extra, so I asked Kate along. I told Mom she was a huge fan, but really I just wanted to talk to her. Arthur told me about their fight, and I said I'd talk to her. What if we were wrong?

Seventh-inning stretch. We were on a balcony. I looked to her. She was trying to keep from staring at me.

"Is there anything you need to tell me?" I asked. She shook her head, staring over the crowd.

She looked nervous. I left her alone. She'd tell me when she was ready.
