Cathcart continued, “She’s been exposed to a whole other world that she’s like, ‘Love is so many more things than I might have thought it could be, and with so many more people than it could have been,’ and just possibilities are opening in front of her eyes.”
“That’s what so many different people go through in their own lives as well, so I hope they can find comfort in seeing Kitty go through that.”
