Re: Earlyish evening, Faith, Kyle and SAM (after the dancing, because that's too cute to invade on!)
"You're after my life?" Kyle said. "And here we were getting along so great!"
He decided to can the sarcasm.
"I used to be a cop," he said finally. He'd been keeping that quiet, but if this guy could really run a background check he was going to find out. "And I don't have a police record. But the important thing is that I'm a decent person and I'd never do anything bad to Faith. I hope you'll believe me."
In his humble opinion, Faith could take care of herself, but that wasn't something he'd better say right now. And he was actually happy for her to have such loyal friends.
