Frederick!

[It gets to him, that time. No slow drawl of a correction.]

And -- because. You've established that you don't like me waxing psychotic on your friends.

So you can teach an old dog new tricks ...

[The first text doesn't come until halfway through the night. She actually make an attempt to type out things, you should feel special Chilton.]

hey just wondering where u are

[Each following text comes roughly thirty minuets to an hour after the last.]

its getting kind of late r u still coming?

i guess u got a little tied up with worked should we try 4 another day?

u usually get back 2 me p fast did something happen?

im coming over after work u better have a good reason 4 not showing up

I suppose you could call my determination dogged. Then the parallels end.

You're right. You're definitely more of a cat.

Are you not much of a cat person?

Is that what you drew from that conclusion? How is your self-esteem doing today, Doctor Chilton?

I highly doubt your interest, Kate.

But I'm practicing. Do you have cat-related trauma?

You're rather off base -- I haven't suffered any trauma. Consider it a charmed life.

Then why would comparing you to a cat be a sign that I don't like cats?

Come now, Kate. We both know you're not invested in me beyond a superficial level -- not that such is bad, mind. It simply is.

I was a cat sitter before I came here.

[It's a fact she only relates at this point to be contrary.]

Then I shouldn't have to explain myself.

You jumped to a conclusion.

And you didn't contradict my actual point. Ergo.

Did I not? I thought I did with the hint about the cat sitting.

But that sounds rather patronizing.

Which I'm not allowed to accuse you of, so, I won't. Must be something else, mustn't it?

Do you often assume the worst of comparisons made by others? Is that something you've grown accustomed to?

You're trying so hard, Kate.

Not everything is an insult.
