Her eyes softened as she spoke, the shadow of a memory flickering across her face.
'Who is this guy?' Sage wondered, his jaw tightening. 'Kate turned me down because of him. I need to know who he is.'
A soft knock broke their eyelock. Katelyn quickly moved to the door, letting the room-service attendant wheel in a trolley. At her direction, he set the breakfast neatly out on the balcony before leaving.
"Thank you," she said politely, closing the door behind him.

"Come on," Katelyn urged with a small smile. "Before the food gets cold."
Sage rose, but instead of heading to the balcony, he crossed the room toward her. His gaze lingered on her face.
"Do you like swimming?" he asked suddenly.
