I could smell that one coming.
Hmm. Didn't think I telegraphed it that bad.
I don't see how you could have avoided it. Unless you were willing to
let him kill her, she'd have to fend him off somehow, most likely in a
way that would be very embarassing to him. She'd be unlikely to be able
to face him in a straight fight without her usual weapons.
