Melvin took a step forward, but Kate rose from her seat and stopped him, a shadow crossing her face.

“What do you mean?” Kate's voice shook a little, caught off guard by how quickly things were turning tense.
“You never intended to meet my girlfriend. You already had someone else in mind for me,” Melvin said. His tone
was icy, and his patience had worn thin. “Why did you really invitehere?”
A flush crept up Kate's cheeks. “Melvin...”
