Chapter 7: The Lucky One

*Five Years Earlier*

The first thought Kate had when she met Cathal Sable for the first time was that he looked a lot like their father. Cathal had the same wavy, dark hair and hazel eyes. He even had the cleft chin that Kate didn't inherit. Their father wasn't a tall man so Cathal must've inherited his height from his mother's side as he was almost a head and a half taller than Kate.

It made it hard to be intimidating when she had to literally look up to meet his gaze. He had been hovering around her in the library for half an hour, watching her from a nearby table. He seemed to be trying to find the nerve to finally go up and talk to her when she retreated into the least populated section of the library. She leaned against the shelves and waited for the friendly giant to find her.

"Are you aware that stalking is kind of creepy?" she quipped when she saw his face through the gaps in the shelves.
