Not for them, anyway. She's got no idea what Danny's background or track record is; suspects it's better than either of theirs, at least in regards to the ability to maintain relationships that last more than a few days, a week at most.
They've never been exclusive, and she's never pried -- professional necessity, before -- but she'd gathered that Steve, like her, hadn't really ever gone past those few days or a week's time limit, but this? He'd said a couple of weeks before, and that was a couple of weeks ago, and that's at least a month, maybe more, since Steve could well have been fudging his answer.
She's interrupted by the waitress, who smiles brightly, and doesn't bat an eyelash at Cath's instructions to cook her steak rare, nods when Cath nods to Steve's beer and adds one to her own order, but that's fine. She's feeling better now, relaxed, and there's plenty of time to discuss all of this over dinner, when even Steve would find it awkward to run.
