Kate's lips curled into a knowing smile. "I'm not surprised," she mused, her eyes gleaming with mischief. "The knight in shining armor saves the damsel in distress. It's like something out of a romance novel," she said before sinking back into her seat.

Anna sighed. "I'm very sure I won't be seeing him again after today because he told me so."
Kate's curiosity was piqued. "Wait a minute. You lost me there for a second. What do you mean he told you himself?"
