Well that makes two of them who aren't sure of what to say. Kate was hoping Steph would say something to lead her on, so she wouldn't be the first one to say something and have it fall flat. Kate hasn't been in the mood to sit down and think about dating period, much less with a girl, except for the time she drilled Billy and Teddy about same-sex relationships. She planned on waiting (until the end of time, preferably) to do something about it, but life has decided to shove itself in between everything else.
"Then you don't know, I guess," she answers with a shrug, not quite sure if she's disappointed or relieved Steph didn't give her a straight answer. Looking at Steph has suddenly become hard to do; maybe there's a little embarrassment in Kate's face that she doesn't want Steph to notice. Besides, what does she have to offer Steph even if she did like her in that way? Steph is a lot more experienced than her and while it's easy for people to say that Kate has time until she's ready, even Kate knows that sometimes, that's not exactly true.
