Coming to this place was surely a bad idea, Katherine Williams thought as she find her way to the exit. She decided to visit the Casino hoping to enjoy a game of poker or blackjack to get her mind off things that had long been weighing her down. But as it turned out, even the most dazzling lights of Las Vegas Casinos weren't enough to brighten up the was she was feeling.
It also didn't help that some guy David had been hitting on her all night and totally freaking her out. She had politely implied she wasn't interested but the guy just wouldn't catch the drift. David was pathetically following her all night, unabashedly asking for her number. She didn't know. Maybe the poor guy was just simply desperate or maybe the problem was actually her.
Ever since her divorce with Gerard Evans, her faith in romance had crumbled. With a failed marriage, the cold reality hit her. There's no such thing as everlasting love. In time, love frizzles out. Perhaps the couples who decide to stay together do it for non-romantic reasons. It had been two years since the divorce but she still hasn't moved on from the trauma.
Her best friend Julia Margoyles tried setting her up with a couple of men but all the attempts went unsuccessful. Kat decided that maybe what she needed was not a new man but rather new surroundings. Julia was kind enough to let her have a little vacation on their family's rest house at Las Vegas. It had been a week since she arrived there but so far the city wasn't helping lift up her spirit.
Kat was nearing the exit when she felt somebody grab her right hand from behind and whispered, "If I profane with my unworthiest hand, this holy shrine…"
Kat felt her patience finally run out. David asking for her number was one thing but David trying to be Romeo? Oh please!
"Why don't you just leave me a…"
Kat wasn't able to finish her sentence because as she turned around she discovered that it wasn't David she was about to cast aside. It was Jeremy Cassidy.
