I did the same thing as Kate, but Alex was much more normal than Michael.
I shook my head and went to listen to Kate and Alex's conversation.

"Kate, why did you leave?" Alex sounded displeased.
"Alex, I'm sorry..." Kate said. "But you're watching me too closely. I want to come out and catch my breath."
"Did I make you feel uncomfortable? Do you want to leave me?" Alex's tone became urgent. "You were like this the last time. You didn't tell me anything and left. I didn't even know you were my mate. And now you're doing this again, leaving all of a sudden. You never say anything. I don't know what you're thinking."
"I'm sorry..." Kate lowered her head. I couldn't see her expression from the door, but I could hear the frustration in her voice.
I tried harder to get closer to the door, wanting to see it more clearly.
