I solemnly swear that I do no now nor have I ever owned Passions, or any of the characters that appear on the show. I promise.

Authors Note: I just wanted to thank everyone for the reviews. Thank you for reading my first fan fiction story! Hope you keep on Reading and Reviewing! (By the way, did everyone notice why the nicknames that Kate and Fox have for one another are important? If she had said that her twin brother was Fox, Hank would have known instantly that she is a Crane. I want to keep some things secret! After all, everyone else in Harmony has secrets, why shouldn't Kate?)

Chapter 11- Why Me?

"Rise and shine, sleepyhead!"

Kate groaned, and burrowed deeper under the covers. Fox pulled them back. Kate threw a pillow at him, which narrowly missed his head. "Why are you torturing me? I had a late night. I want to sleep in!" She whined, trying to pull her covers back.

Fox had other ideas. "Oh no Meg." He said, yanking the covers out of her reach. Kate sat back and pouted. "Not until you tell me what you were doing last night. I spoke to Audrey, and she told me that you had a date! So, fill me in. Where did you actually meet someone who met your ultra high standards here in Harmony?"

Kate got up and pulled a silk screened robe from China out of her immense closet. She slipped her arms into it, and tied the cord. "If you must know, I met the guy the old fashioned way. I poured my cappuccino on him. After I bought him a new shirt and he bought me lunch, he invited me on a date." She sighed and flopped back on her bed, he flopped down on the other side. "Oh Nicky, it was so incredible, I have never been with anyone like him. He is so smart, and funny. Not haughty funny, like that insipid Drake Henderson that we went to school with. He has the nicest smile, and the way he kissed me... I have never felt this way about anyone before!"

"Meg, did you hit your head on something, or are you serious?" Fox turned to his sister. "I have known you every minute of my whole twenty three years on this earth, and I have never heard you talk about anyone this way! Are you really falling for him?

Kate smiled. "I think I am." She couldn't believe this was happening to her. It was like a dream, or maybe an opera. Girl from rich, society family falls for police officer from the other side of the tracks. She could see it.

"So who is he, anyway?"

Kate sighed again. His name is Hank, Hank Bennett."

Fox sat up. "You must be joking." He said, shocked.

Kate rolled over, and looked at him. "No, I'm not kidding. Why would you say such a thing?" It wasn't like her brother to be that snobby, not after all the help that he...

"Meg, Hank Bennett is Sam Bennett's younger brother. You know Sam is Ethan's father, right?" Fox informed her gently.

She was shocked. She had known that the name was familiar, but she never would have guessed this. "Oh no!" She moaned. "Why does this kind of stuff always happen to me?"
