It was 2 days later when Kate had to leave for New York and Kit didn't want to let her leave. She knew that she had to, Kate needed to pack up her apartment and still technically quit her job, so yeah she had to go. That didn't mean that Kit didn't hate it.
She had a few hours until she needed to get to the airport. Kit had offered to take her, but Kate had been promised door-to-door service by Javi. When she heard Javi's name, she paused. They still hadn't actually talked since Javi had said what he said after the rodeo. He'd been around a few times but Kit had done everything she could to avoid him.
"You okay?" Kate interrupted her thoughts and Kit looked up. She nodded.
"I'm fine," she insisted. Kate looked at her unconvinced.
"This about Javi? You two haven't talked since the rodeo." Kate didn't want to push. She knew what Javi had said was way over the lines. It was for her too. He'd apologized, but Kate still would admit that yeah, she was hurt. She just didn't want to hold onto any resentment.
Shaking her head, Kit turned towards Kate. She had to leave in a few hours and the last thing Kit wanted to do was spend that few hours talking about Javi.
"Not important," she leaned forward and kissed Kate softly. Partially because she wanted to, and partially because she was hoping it would get Kate to move on from the subject.
It almost worked too. Kate smiled into the kiss and pulled Kit closer. Then she realized what was happening and pulled away.
"Don't distract me," she scolded, she was still smiling. "I'm serious, you need to talk to him." Kit made a face of disgust.
"I don't want to talk to him. He's a shitty friend and he doesn't deserve my forgiveness." She was going to be stubborn about this. Yeah, she considered him her brother, but just like with her actual brother - that didn't mean she had to talk to him or forgive him.
Kate sighed and shook her head. She didn't exactly know what to do. She was on Kit's side. What Javi had said- was too far. But she needed them to talk. They both were the only people she had left from that day. Kate needed both of them.
Biting down on her lip, she looked up at Kit. She was upset. Kate didn't want to go back to New York when she was upset.
"Kass," her voice was gentle when she spoke. "I know you don't want to talk to him. I don't blame you. But will you please? Just once, if after that you never want to after then I will not bring it up again, just once, please?"
Kit crossed her arms, she looked down while she thought. She could do it for Kate. She'd do anything for Kate. That didn't mean she wanted to talk to Javi though.
