[For all that Caitlyn likes to think she can do anything and that nothing will stop her, she is a bit daunted by heights. And attempting to scale a building that could collapse at any moment...
She puts on her most determined frown and takes her first step up the staircase, hearing the rotting wood creek ominously. She can do this. It's not so bad. She can do it. She can do it. She takes another hesitant step, heeding Clara's suggestion and sticking as close as humanly possible to the wall, before looking behind to make sure that Clara doesn't need help.]
Your dad's like that too? [They've talked about their mothers, but she doesn't know much about Clara's dad.] Some days I think mine would've liked to wrap me up in balled-up newsprint like a parcel.
