"You're the one who gets jumped and you're asking me if I'm ok." Kate leans back in her chair, slightly frustrated. As she takes another sip of her drink she reminds herself that at least it was the truth, which is no small thing. Kate decides to respond with some truth of her own.
"Yes, I'm fine, thank you." She leans forward a bit and takes another drink. "That's partially why I asked you to stay. I really appreciate what you did for me that night." She is silent a moment or two and then says, "I like this job, a lot. It's important to me, and you probably saved it for me."
