Kate's not sure which part of 'I don't know' and 'yes' he's not getting. She's also not sure what the 'unknowns' in a real relationship are.

It's not that different from being part of a team. That's hard. Some days she wants to punch Will or Hank in the face a lot more than work with them. Sometimes they have fights that last days, even weeks. In the end, either the team matters enough to work it out or it doesn't. If it does, you do what you have to. If it doesn't, you walk. She hasn't walked yet and as long they have her back, she'll have theirs. She's pretty sure Declan thinks that way too.

Kate shrugs at Aidan, pinch-faced. "I just owe him more than to make him a guinea pig in the grand fucking experiment of what happens when Kate can't run."
