Katelyn and
Vikram have known each other since they were kids, although they haven’t seen
each other for a long time. Vik’s sister
Vinita and Kate are best friends. Kate
and Vik still live in the same area, so when Vinita calls because Vik has had
surgery and nobody has heard from him, Kate agrees to check on him. Vik does need help, so Kate agrees to stay
with him until he has an easier time getting around on his own. As it turns out, Kate ends up needing somewhere
to stay later when she loses her place, so the arrangement is mutually
beneficial.
Kate has
loved Vik since she was 10 but doesn’t think the feeling is mutual so she is
hesitant to risk telling him. Additionally,
she has a traumatic rape experience and is struggling with this. Vik has a bad experience with someone he cares
about, so he plays the field and shows no interest in settling down. Kate and Vik start expressing their feelings
and gradually learn to trust and help each other. It’s a slow and sometimes scary process, but
they are finally able to admit they love each other and are glad they did.
Protect
Me is enjoyable. I like
the interaction between Kate and Vik and how they help each other. I also like the interaction between Kate and
Vinita. A best friend is a special
gift. There is a positive message about
letting go of your fears and accepting help from someone you care about. I highly recommend Protect Me.
