After creating their own dance hall in the middle of nowhere, Kit Lainey had made a realization. Kate Carter was going to be it for her.
She knew it was a fast realization, it's not one she would ever voice - she didn't need to scare Kate off,- but it was a realization that just seemed to click. After spending years trying to move on, years thinking Kate wouldn't love her back? Kate was here.
It was everything. Her arms were wrapped around Kit while they danced to the music and the sun completely set. She held her like it was the only thing in the world that mattered. So truthfully, Kit didn't care if it was too fast. She knew that Kate was it for her, that was that.
At some point as the world around them began to grow dark, Kate pulled back from their dancing. She tilted her head at Kit and looked her in the eyes.
"Thank you, for this," she spoke softly. Kit shrugged as if it was nothing but she couldn't hide the soft smile on her face.
"I'd do anything for you," She looked, moving her one hand to cup Kate's face. Kate leaned forward and pressed her lips to Kit's. Kit still couldn't hold back her smile.
Neither of the women wanted to let go, neither really wanted to go back. Being here together, it just felt right. Eventually, however, as the sun finished setting, they realized it was time to leave.
Slowly, Kit sat down in the truck bed and slid off. She offered her hand to Kate to help her off and she happily took it. When Kate took a step ready to get down, Kit wrapped her arms around her and spun her around before setting her on the ground with a giggle. Kate rolled her eyes but the smile didn't leave her face. She was very happy.
....
They drove back to the farm in silence, Kate had moved to the sort of middle seat at the front and her head was lying on Kit's shoulder while Kit drove. The country music radio was playing quietly and Kit used one hand to drive while resting her bad hand on Kate's thigh.
Glancing at the clock as they pulled up to the farm, Kit could see it was only about 9:30. The Wrangler's were still up, over where they were parked. She could see them watching when she parked the car. Kate sat up, but she held Kit's hand.
"You want to go over and hang out for a while?" She nodded her head towards the team. Kit paused for a second and furrowed her eyebrows before she shook her head.
"No, I - was kind of thinking we could go up to the loft. Just us?" She spoke a little hopefully. She wasn't ready to go back to a bunch of people, she wanted to continue just being with Kate for a while.
