It had been a rather unpleasant experience, not speaking with her, but some other man ruined the conversation. He forced himself to smile and thanked her for the jogged memory.

In fact, the young lady snatched her purse back and came over to speak with them.
Feeling obligated to say something about it, Dane spoke up. "Are you going to be okay?"
