WHO: Frederick Chilton and Kate Bishop
WHERE: A BURGER JOINT. No, really.
WHEN: Thursday evening
WHAT: Making Chilton eat real meat. Also an evening of mutual respect (or so Chilton wishes) also called a date only not so much.
WARNINGS: None.
There were a number of temptations in place for this evening's arrangement. Although several things told Kate that she would be better off canceling this arrangement, she decided to ignore those warning signs. If Chilton knew better, he would not spend the evening trying to apply psychiatric practices to their conversations. For the most part, she noticed that he skipped doing that with her. Certainly, he did seem to be interested in her, and she did grant him some genuine degree there, but his treatment of other people did not leave her thinking of him with much high regard.
The truth was, she couldn't really write someone off simply because he was unpleasant. But she also didn't appreciate the idea that decency could be granted sparingly, to individuals that someone liked but not the greater populace. Then again, that could have been that terminally good part of her. Actually, Kate knew that was the case. She wondered if she could nudge Chilton into believing his error there.
Well, no one could fault her for trying, right?
All the same, she waited that evening for him to arrive. Her outfit was much simpler than it would have been if she had any kind of budget, but it was nice enough: a typical pair of black dress pants, shoes that looked expensive but weren't, and a form-fitting sleeveless top. It was good for a March in Florida, at least. She also had on a silver necklace that hung loosely. It was simple, and nowhere near what she'd normally wear ... but Kate will take it.
Plus, it fit her plans for the evening: a more casual venue, especially after her dinner earlier in the week. Also, it would serve to see how Chilton would handle that.
Her choice was somewhere to have burgers and cheap drinks, and that was where they were, already having their food ordered. "I actually feel my age," she said unnecessarily, half-wondering how he'd respond. Of course, much of this was to see how he'd respond.
