I was kidding. I know you're fifteen.

[Karen's expression dampens just a little at the comment about being liked, and she tugs the littler blonde closer.]

I...know things have been kinda hard for you, Kara. I do. But you know what? Things are going to get better. I know it's not really my place to pry, about anything, but if you need something...anything, please come to me.

I don't think I have any right to say this, but I missed you. [Kara was one of the wedges between her and her parents. She'd never agreed with their feelings about the foster not working out.]

I am in a place where I can help, now. So please, if there's something that's not right, let me fix it.
