Summary
Cal and Kate get super drunk and share secrets. Someone gets set on fire.
This is essentially a deleted/missing scene from Chapter Two of Waterbound (the sequel to When We Meet on that Distant Shore) because I thought of the idea after I posted the chapter and it's a wonderful scene and a great moment between them and I couldn't not share.

Cal didn’t answer. Because what if it was? What if this was it and all that talk about seeing each other again was just words, just something people said to make death easier to swallow?
“It’s true,” Pat continued. “Katie always believed that when our times come, we’ll be seein’ the ones we love again. And have ye ever known her to be wrong about anything?”
The conclusion to the Distant Shores series…
