The play of emotions that cross Kate's face are quick and interesting--too quick to really make very much of. Whatever's there, whatever Kate is thinking of--well, she composes herself well. That's admirable. But the abruptness of her departure is enough to suggest that Johanna has struck a nerve, somewhere in there. And that means she's come out on top for this round--always satisfying--but there's some sadness to winning so soon, when they could have kept playing.

Of course, she's only thinking this now that she's winning. A few minutes earlier and-- well, Johanna doesn't leave with dignity and grace, the way Kate is leaving. But there would have definitely been an exit made.

She watches Kate walk past her, raises her eyebrows as she observes that cross. "Don't tell me you're leaving. Come on, we were just going to start having fun again, you can't bow out now."
