She knew ‘what’. Phillup only took this tone with her when the credit card bill was in and showing activity. Kate would sometimes react quite defensively when they 'argued' about the bill. It was the only thing they did argue about. Which made sense as they'd been growing distant until the past couple of days. They didn't argue about anything else because they were both far too polite to bring up any bigger problems.<br/><br/>Kate knew the speech, knew he had done the math and would lecture about how much the dress cost after interest. Only he stopped with his hand in the air and just looked at her before sitting back down.<br/><br/>Kate was very aware of her body in the two piece. She was also very aware that once again the collar was locked about her throat. While both of these things seemed to have an effect on Phillup they were also having an even greater effect on Kate, though different. She stood almost shyly when she realized her husband was distracted from his lecture by her body.<br/><br/>They remained that way for a long moment in silence until he pointed to the bill and asked his question. She dropped her head for a moment and sighed, regaining herself. “Look, you always make a big thing about the credit card bill. Yes I know… I know the interest and fees make anything I buy more expensive in the long run. I know the speech by heart, Phillup. You don’t need to give me the lecture.” She said as exasperated as he normally sounded during his opening salvo.
