“Can I ask you something? I don’t want to go into details for my own reasons but can I ask anyway?” I ask Killian, clenching my fingers around a fork on the dining table. He’s started eating, I haven’t touched my meal at all.
“Sure, go ahead. Ask me.” Killian’s voice is soothing as he drops his cutlery and grabs a glass of wine.
“Kate is coming.” I blurt out, keeping my eyes on the table. “Exam is in a few weeks but I don’t want her here before it begins. It’ll be too. . .” I look for the right words, trying to hide my agitation and what I can term as fright in my tone. “Distracting and tasking. I want to focus on just the two of us and exams. At least for now.” I look into his eyes. I don’t wish anyone evil but I can send every single notes and projects taken since Kate’s been absent till now to her, like I’ve always done, but I need her away for my mental health especially with Carol being Asami.
