Tara's nodding too because Katie's managed to make this real - make it possible. Make it possible that if Jax makes it through this, that they would be okay. That, at least, they could be okay. That she's got to be honest. She's got to talk to him, and tell him because if she's not honest....
"Some people are like that," Tara says quietly. "Some people are, and it's good that you know that. That you got out." She means it, even as she's holding Katie's hand and she feels like she both understands and never can quite understand. "Jax... he became that way, but it wasn't- it was like he was pulled under." She said it quietly. "So... I can help him stop that from happening. We can help stop it from happening, and he can... help me. From where it pulled me under, too." She's saying it like it's the thing that's giving her hope.
Like if she gets through this, if she makes it to the other side.... things may be better- and saying it helps solidify it.
"I don't know what I'd have done if you hadn't come in," she said lowly, honestly. "I can't even tell you how much I owe you." She's still not great - of course she's not, Jax is in surgery and she's been up for twenty-odd hours and she's had a hell of a few days, but there's a light at the end of the tunnel, instead of falling down a well.
