    Summary

    “Kate, wait a second.” Bruce called.
    Kate stopped her pursuit of the door and turned to face him; confusion written on her face. “Yeah?”
    Bruce had finally looked up from his microscope, leaning back in his chair as he scanned her, his eyes landing on her face with a peculiar intensity. His mouth twisted with- was that concern? “How are you doing?”
    “Me? I’m fine.” Kate said, probably a little too quickly if the disbelieving expression on Bruce’s face said anything about it.
    “Right.” Bruce’s voice dripped with skepticism. “Well, if you ever want to talk about anything I’m here-”
    “Sorry but I don’t remember any of your PhD’s being in psychiatry, so unless you went back and got one while the rest of us were living in hell the last five years I don’t know if you’re qualified to be a therapist.” Kate interrupted defensively, and immediately regretted it, wincing. She knew exactly what Bruce had been doing the past five years and couldn’t even imagine the guilt he must feel about it. So why did she say that?

    Kate and Bruce have a bit of a heart to heart about everything.
