And again she finds herself opening her mouth and shutting it, and so Kate sighs and decides on silence for a few minutes.
And it's not a bad sort of silence, if not a horrible comfortable one, as she strokes his dark hair and watches the way her fingers look threading through it.
"I love you too," she whispers finally. "Even if--I don't know, Piotr. I just don't know. But even if I say no, I still love you. Nothing's going to change that."
It's not what happens, and she knows it. (Except of course for lots of people it's happened, it's not like they're the first couple ever, but. But. But.) If you love someone and they love you and you want to be with them forever--
You say yes. That's what you should do.
And she doesn't even for a moment doubt that she loves him, doubt that he loves her, that she wants to be with him.
It's just--
She doesn't even know enough to put it in words.
It's not fair to him, she thinks, and knows, and she still doesn't know what answer to give.
"I'll think about it. I am. Already." And the words are awkward, but the tone's a promise, as she keeps her gaze on him.

"I'm sorry I'm not being very good at this part."
