Jake's P.O.V
I can't believe Marks killed Kate's mom. The police suspected he killed Johanna but didn't have concrete evidence against him at the time. Kate was traumatized and Emma was so young the police didn't waste their time questioning her. Emma wouldn't answer my questions but if Rook asked her the same thing, she'd answer him. When he came back to Kate and their bags, Emma was asleep resting her head on his shoulder, her face turned towards his neck. She didn't move a muscle as he laid her down in his Expedition. Kate looked like she wanted to draw circles around her back but decided not to.
Rook held Kate's door opened and gave her a quick kiss before closing the door. They seemed like the perfect family. I was expecting Emma to call the next day. I didn't hear from her for weeks. When I did, Rook and Kate decided to move into Marks' house, trying to keep something Emma loved. She sounded happy. Rook's parents were coming over for Christmas because they wanted to meet her in a location she felt safe in. She had everything she ever wanted. She had a mom and a dad who loved her and a brother on his way. I hated how Marks lied to all of us about how he knew Kate. It didn't matter now because Kate had two kids and a wonderful husband.
