DELETED SCENE - KAT AND ABRA, SERENITY SPACE

Has them joking around a bit. I wanted to make their relationship more strained so I took this out and reworked other scenes.

DELETED SCENE - KAT AND HER DAD, HOME

In this earlier scene, Kat has a younger brother, too, and we see their relationship with their dad, who was home more than Abra was.

DELETED SCENE - KAT, MANNY, CHRISTY, SCHOOL

In earlier drafts, Kat was really insecure about her relationship with Manny and also what Manny’s relationship with Libby was. Also, in earlier versions, Kat’s last name was Jones. But I decided I wanted that name for a different book so I changed it to Flynn.

DELETED SCENE - KAT AND LIBBY, KAT’S HOUSE

In a previous version, Libby’s mom’s boyfriend was hitting on her and she had snuck out to get away from him. She goes to Kat’s house, where this scene unfolds.
