( it's different for him, too — in most circumstances, he and kate have played a game of 'who can hold out the longest' interrupted only by clint being the one, inevitably, to give in and try before deciding that no, it's not worth it. before deciding that there's only so many times a person can end up on voicemail, or left on read before getting the hint.
he's a little surprised when she replies, but not unhappy.
and maybe some of it's not even kate, not even that she's different (and he's different, at least as far as she's concerned), maybe it's duplicity. it's a question he doesn't know the answer to, one he's not sure he'll get the answer to.
—in much the same way that kate's own response doesn't really say much of anything. )
