Kate was also like this. She felt too much but knew too little to express them. They were alike and it was the reason why they clicked. It was too easy for both of them to be together at that time but slowly and slowly, they started bottling up their real feelings for each other and never expressed anything other than the business-like smile that they had learned from their families and then suddenly it was suddenly too late. The toxins ate away everything that was there or that could be there.
Nobody more than him knew that Kate was not as put together as Esmeralda felt. She was just like him, someone who could not speak her heart even though she claimed that she speaks everything that came to her mouth. But the truth was Kate never speaks anything about herself. This was why he said those two were just too alike.
And Kate was not someone who would entertain someone arguing with her. If she was engaging in arguing with Esmeralda, it meant his girl made a number on Kate Smith.
