Before we were dating and married, my husband was a frequent customer at a store where I worked. Out here in the Pacific Northwest we are famous for our "bucket dumping" rainstorms, especially in the fall. One October day I recall seeing his car in the parking lot - not that I was looking for it or anything, but I didn't see him. It was a small strip center and to the best of my knowledge he did not frequent any of the other stores in the mall. I went on about my business, waiting on other customers until he walked in, completely drenched. He had been helping a woman get her car started so she could get home to her family and out of the rain. A lovely little chime went off in my brain that said "White knight alert! Pay attention." I was smart enough to heed the message. And he has turned out to be my white knight in every way.
