It had been a week since their date, and while Kate did spend a few days here and there with Raphael, she hadn’t been seeing him as often as she would have liked. Partly because she didn't want to seem needy but mostly because it seemed a little like he was losing interest. The last message she received from him barely contained three full words, he had texted her "How r u?" That, from a teacher of literature and language. What else was she supposed to think? It wasn't like she was expecting poetry, but something with a little more substance would have been preferred.
Her time in Rome was going to end eventually and even she felt like holding back at times, she just wished he wouldn’t. Kate knew that was completely unfair but it no longer mattered, she was about to see a lot more of Rapha
