“I was studying the map the girls gave me,” he said as he held up a torn paper from a notebook page and glanced back toward the bar where two young women, one blonde and the other dark stood smiling at him with an appreciative glint. He smiled back with a wave before he looked back at Kait. “If I could have a napkin to wipe my directions off before the ink runs, I’d appreciate it.”
“Oh aye,” Kait said as she handed him the remaining napkins on the table.
Alan moved the coffee mugs aside to make more room then introduced everyone. “…and the lassie who honored ye with a wee bath is Kait.”
Kait stuck out her tongue, but smiled broadly when the young man turned back to look at her again.
“I’m Steven Corbin.”
