For Duck

The time for avoidance was over. That was the very affirmative-sounding thought that kept running through Kate's mind. Geoffrey had promised that Duck wasn't actually mad and Kate avoiding him is probably making the whole thing worse, anyway. This is why Kate is currently standing on her porch, a slightly worse for the wear little gift clutched between her fingers. She trains her eyes on Duck's house and takes a deep breath, feeling more than slightly ridiculous as she starts down the stairs.
