As much as she might want to pretend to be grown up, above it, her fangirl heart had always secretly hoped for something like this to happen. Who wouldn’t want to be the one who was clever and brave enough to rescue the damsel in distress (in this case, Devin)? Real life had been difficult at times, had called for sacrifice or courage, but taking care of her dad never once felt heroic. Maybe she deserved this, even if Devin didn’t. One chance for adventure in her small, boring life. The opportunity to bring at least one man who’d once disparaged her to his knees.
