“It’s not like this put me out, you know. I like hanging out with you; besides I went to the gym and Muay Thai practice early this morning. Not much of a night owl anymore.” The beautiful, intimidating bodyguard shrugs and smiles.

“That’s fine by me, I can’t say I’m for the club scene anymore either,” I admit, feeling a bit anxious.

I hope she doesn’t think I’m boring for not going dancing or hitting the bars.
