But it was Kate who had captured my attention, smiling at the children. She was one of the most beautiful people I’d ever met, and it wasn’t just her pouty lips or full breasts. It was her heart. It was the way she took time to help others, to encourage them. Encourage me. I realized that’s what had drawn me to her—she was so genuine, so honest. And I’d never been with a woman quite like her. Most of them were always “on,” always playing a part. It was exhausting. But with Kate—she was never anything but herself.
