"Don't think I'm letting her go just because you are acting as a bodyguard, okay?" Xavier said when we were halfway through the stairs.
Susie and I both knew he was referring to her, so she responded.
"How about you try to touch her on my guard? I promise you won't live to tell the tale."
"Don't worry, Susie darling. I know just how to handle you. You just wait," Xavier said calmly.
