subaudition
-n.
an act or instance of understanding or mentally supplying something not expressed.
When little Castle looked to her, unsure of herself, eyes shimmering, Kate knew what to do.
She had been there.
She knew what it felt like to be scared. Nervous of what would happen if she left. When Kate was in college she was petrified of what could, possibly, god forbid, happen if she studied abroad.
But her father, equally as frightened, told her that they'd both regret it if she didn't go.
He already hated himself for becoming her excuse.
So, best as she could, Kate pulled herself together, took Alexis' hands in hers.
Warmed them with unspoken understanding.
