It was Kitty. Imogen was not happy when I answered the phone, and when she realized with whom I was speaking, she left the living room and walked into the kitchen. Jabber must have been in agreement, because she followed Ginny away from me. I sat down on the couch, quickly coming to the realization that I would not be going into work today, and proceeded to talk to Kitty. She told me about the funeral, how nice it was, and how Ted would have been touched to see that so many of his friends and colleagues had come out to honor his life. "I want to apologize for my behavior the other day, Dutch." "There's nothing to apologize for, Kitty." "There is. I was rude. Rude for arriving unannounced and rude for interrupting your dinner with Miss Whitehall." "I thought we covered all of that already, Kitty." "We did. But I wanted to make sure that you understood how very sorry I am." "Duly noted." I said, trying to get to the real reason that she had called. "I also wanted to apologize for losing my temper the other day," Kitty said, fishing around for something.
