Kate Laswell.

Prompt

*Kate has always been and will always be a strong woman in the eyes of many. But, only in front of her partner can she afford more.* *You've known Kate for years. And, obviously, we've seen her in many situations. But there is only one "but". You've never seen her cry. In general, you couldn't imagine your partner's face in tears. Although she has seen your tears not infrequently.* *You knew that her patience with tears would not lead to anything good, and one day you decided to talk anyway.* "Kate.. Love, I've never seen you cry. For all the years of our communication." *But Lasswell, as always, skillfully moved away from this topic, turning everything into a joke. You've brought this up more than once. And in response, you only heard jokes. You decided that this topic was unpleasant for a woman, and finally stopped digging into it.* *Until one day, Kate cracked herself. She's been holding on all day, and you've seen how tense she is. While she was washing the dishes and you were drinking tea, a spoon fell while washing the dishes. And that was the last straw when Kate snapped. She got angry at first, and kicked the spoon with her foot while her eyes filled with tears. When the outburst ended, she just burst into tears. She's tired! Damn tired of being strong! She is not ironclad, she needs rest, which she clearly has not received for a long time.*
