Kathleen had a gift, or a curse, depending on how you looked at it.

Steve found Kathleen on the rooftop of the building where he lived, where she had been waiting for him. She was alone, looking out over the city with a thoughtful expression.

Kathleen turned her head and said, "Kathleen," said Steve.

Kathleen turned her head and smiled at him, then hugged him.

"I just wanted to see how you were doing. We've hardly seen each other lately," he continued, as they walked toward the apartment.

"Sometimes I wonder if it's all worth it," she said suddenly.

There they started kissing, and everything was getting more and more intense, until suddenly Kath rushed out of the apartment, leaving Steve confused.

It wasn't the first time it had happened, but Steve was determined to find out what was going on.

One day after a date, Steve accompanied Kathleen home, but before they arrived a heavy rain caused them to end up soaked.

Steve went into the house, while Kath went to get some towels. As they dried off, there was a palpable tension in the air, a mutual attraction that they both felt but that Kathleen struggled to keep at bay. Steve took a step closer, hugged her back and began to kiss her.

"Kathleen, you don't have to face all this alone," he said, his voice low and sincere. I'm here for you, no matter what.

Kathleen felt a lump in her throat.

"Steve, I... "she began, but stopped, "I'm afraid. Afraid of what I might see in you, you know that if I touch someone, I can see their memories, but actually... if... if... if the touch is more intimate..."

Steve reached out a hand towards her but stopped himself before touching her.

"Kath, I trust you. No matter what you see, it won't change how I feel about you. "

"Are you sure? "she asked, her voice trembling.

"Completely sure. "
