[For Kate] Girl talk--advice time

Daphne had decided to take Bella's recommendation and seek out Kate for some relationship advice--as it were. She didn't actually have a relationship, of course, which was part of the problem. And the two sides of this particular coin were starting to give her a headache.
She hung around the children's office near the end of Kate's shift, waiting for her to finish up so she could at least ask if she could have some time, if not right now than whenever Kate had a minute. Just hopefully soon. She couldn't keep running hot and cold on Wilke like this, it wasn't fair to him, but at the same time the thought of giving up on Kon without even knowing definitively if there was something to give up on made her heart ache a little.

"Crazy is thinking you've got it all figured out. Just because I'm over it doesn't mean my head didn't spin like Linda Blair in the Exorcist."

"It seems stupid to keep trying to chase some guy who doesn't seem interested in me when there's someone else right there who clearly cares about me. But it's hard to figure out how I really feel about Wilke when he keeps giving me those looks and the little touches that are innocent and yet..." And yet carried so much emotional weight.

She hunted Declan down like prey on the savannah, but that was kind of different too. Sex, and she knew he was into it. They just had different ideas about how it should go down was all. She cocks her head and amends that to, "If a dude's not into you, you can't make him be into you, no matter how much you want him. But that goes both ways. If you're not into Wilke, then you're not. Kinda sounds like you might be, or at least you like the way he looks at you and touches you when you don't think too hard about it, yeah?"

You don't need to be dating someone. So if you're not sure, then just--" She shrugs. "Hang out with both of them and anyone else you want until there's someone you really want to be with."
