Small talk
„You like me."
That was clearly a statement, not a questionTony realized atonished. So what was he supposed to say now? This kind of pointless statement caught him off guard. What for god's sake brought Kate to say something like that? Tony was completely taken aback.
It had been a totally normal day with the two of them teasing each other the way they used to, hadn't it? Tony tried really hard to remember something that could have caused Kate's atypical behaviour. Was that supposed to lead to a conversation? Was she trying to do some small talk here? He was completely mystified. Kate was being so damn out of character, wasn't she?
A Minute passed as Tony just stared at her unbelievingly. It seemed as if Kate was really waiting for a response. She smiled slightly. What the hell was she up to?
Kate was the one who finally broke the eye contact. Now grinning widely she concentrated her attention back on the files that were lying on her desk. Only a few seconds later she simply stated: "I like you, too."
