Peering outside through the sliding glass door, she regarded the outdoor kitchen when Jon mentioned that they have salmon. “I love salmon,” she piped up, smiling a little brighter. He was so full of nervous energy, it was a little infectious. Also, Katie thought it was pretty adorable.<br/><br/>She felt her face warm up when Harlan mentioned that both she and Dom were sexy. The brunette was not used to compliments like that. She was willing to bet that her Russian counterpart was, though. He offered to help her with something, but Katie had already shoved her suitcase by the bottom of the stairs. Katie blankly shook her head in response.<br/><br/>“Oh, no, that’s okay.” She figured that she could always lug it up the stairs later on, herself. Harlan was still speaking to her when Katie quickly disregarded his offer to help. He asked if she needed help out of her dress, which was wearing her. Katie gawked at Harlan, blinking at him, before then awkwardly turning her gaze to look at the others.<br/><br/>“Um, I’m just gonna… go look outside.” Katie avoided eye contact with Harlan, but tossed a glance to Jonathan, as he came down the stairs. She paused at the sliding door to pull it open, when she heard another newcomer stepping in. She offered him a small wave and a even smaller smile, unsure how to feel after hearing Harlan’s comments.<br/><br/>She stepped outside, leaving the door open behind her, just in case anyone decided to follow her out. Katie hoped that Jon might decide to follow after her, but realized also that she didn’t really do enough to reel him in, either. Already she was starting to feel slightly overwhelmed. Gathering a fresh breath of air, she walked herself further outside.<br/><br/>The pool looked rather inviting and the heat definitely called for at least one dip in the water, at some point. Katie veered to the fridge and pulled a bottle of water out of it. She leaned against the counter and cracked the lid open, taking a long sip of the refreshing liquid. Harlan’s words continued to mill around in her head, and Katie honestly had a hard time deciphering them.<br/><br/>Sure, he complimented her in a rather… abrasive manner, by calling her sexy. But, for him to then offer to help her out of her dress, felt like a line was crossed. If they were coworkers, his comment would have been considered sexual harassment, wouldn’t it? Katie sighed. And finally, he remarked about how the dress she was wearing, actually wore her. That was like saying she couldn’t pull off the sparkling gown that she decided to arrive in.<br/><br/>Despite herself, she was now beginning to spiral, second guessing everything about this decision to come onto the show. Maybe she wasn’t cut out for this sort of scene. Maybe she couldn’t pull off the dress that she was wearing today. Maybe she should just keep her things packed up in her suitcase and get ready to be dumped from the island.
