Quote #7
That night [...] [Kat] left without permission, and she might never really belong inside again. (23.2)
Again, Kat's homes seem conditional. Here, she's done something that she thinks Hale will disapprove of. Now she's afraid that he won't welcome her into his home anymore, either. Poor girl.
Quote #8
"Marcus, take us home." As they eased into traffic, [Kat] let the warmth of the car wash over her. She didn't protest as Hale slid his arm around her and pulled her to rest against his chest. It was somehow softer there than she remembered. (36.67)
Maybe, to Kat, home isn't a physical place; home is where Hale's heart is.
