"Duke, I was once a man slaying enemies on the battlefield, fighting from morning until late hours into the night, and was given the nickname the blood giant. I followed you because of the skills you showed while we fought side by side and you saved my life once."
"I thought if I continued to follow you, there would be excitement in my life. Never would I have expected this. Why am I holding your wife's bags," Caleb turned to the man beside him who was lucky to have no bags in his hands.
"Because you are a strong man," Edgar replied.
"You are stronger than me. I am just taller than you," said Caleb. He had four bags hooked around his right hand and carried numerous boxes in his hands. Most of the things belonged to Alessandra but she had bought a few for Sally and Erin.
"Quit complaining before your little crush sees that you are weak. Alessandra has told me that Sally has a thing for strong men," Edgar lied so that Caleb would continue to hold the bags.
