AGAIN you're left alone with Cate who is actually a little embarrassed that she just witnessed this. You are too and maybe way more than her since your the one crushing. You actually didn't want her to think that you were that kind of girl.

"Coffee?" you ask her. She's still in dream land. "Mrs. Blanchett?" she looks at you "it's miss Blanchett. Yes I would take a coffee". You make her one and put it in front of her. She thanks you and you both remain silent. As it's been some time you break the silence "so you're divorced...?" you know it's a pretty personal question and that she might not want to answer but you just have to know if you would have a shot with her. "Yes. Dashiell didn't tell you?" "No he didn't. It just never came up" "well that didn't stop you from flirting with me" she bites her lip and takes a sip of coffee. Your actually happy she mentions it because suddenly the tension from last time you saw her is back and you stare into each other's eyes. You move to the sink still gazing at her and wash of the number you got from Lilly. "Aren't you gonna call her back?" she asks. "No why would I?" you dry your forearm lost in her iceblue eyes. Your voices are calm and low and the electricity between you two could light up a whole city. "Well that's not nice of you. She's gonna wait for you to call. Maybe she likes you" Cate says. "maybe... But I don't. Well not like that." you smirk and look her up and down. She lightly blushes and your perplexed. You made her blush. Ughhhh she so amazing.

"it's been a year" she says and you look up from your coffee with a questioning expression. "it's been a year since I divorced him". So she didn't want him anymore... But why? "How come? I mean you don't have to tell me, it's just that Dashiell said he has 2 brothers and a sister and that his parents are perfect together" you ask. "Ehmm.." she thinks about it for some time. You take her hand that was laying on the middle kitchen counter and she looks at you. You feel like she's worried or not sure about what she's doing here or whether she should tell. "it's okay Cate. You don't owe me anything. It's your story. If you want you can stay for a while, if you don't have 4 kids waiting for you, I'm just gonna get dressed if that's okay?" you look at her with a reassuring smile. "I would like that" she say with a crack in her voice. "the staying part I meant" she smiles shyly. You tell her to make herself comfortable and to feel like home and that you'll be back in about 20 minutes.
