I was going to become a PI, help people, and live normally…and then I met Jeremy, the most perfect man to have ever saved my life (I mean, he might be the only one who has saved my life, but he’s still the best at it).

But when he’s targeted by criminals (literally, someone just shot at his head), he needs to rely on someone, so why not me?
