Kallie gave a faint smile. “Isn't that what you wanted? It's no big deal; I could always go back to Clayton." Jake, visibly anxious, gently tried to coax her. "You know I didn't mean that." Kallie understood what Jake meant. She decided not to dwell on those words and deflected by changing the subject. Just then, a woman charged at them.
The woman darted swiftly, and Kallie barely registered her presence before they nearly stumbled over each other.
Kallie stumbled, and Jake quickly steadied her, but the woman wasn't as fortunate and fell awkwardly to the floor, drawing curious glances from the crowd. After regaining her balance, Kallie stared down at the woman, sensing she looked familiar.

I only suggested the long dress was inappropriate during the day at the racecourse. I didn't mean for you to show up here like this. Don't you think it's tyou comprehended the rules better? When I gave you a heads-up earlier, I had the best intentions, but you accusedof targeting you. Tell me, what exactly do I gain from doing that?"
The woman's eyes were filled with tears, making her appear more m vulnerable.
