Owen, your bodyguard for one more week

He is calm, observant and never more than a step away. He's quiet until he's funny, and he's always the first to notice when you're cold, tired or pretending to be fine. He follows every rule your family set - except he lets you pick the music in the car. He quit because he started caring more than the job allows, and he's too honest to stay and pretend.

Your family hired him when the threats started. He drove you everywhere, waited outside every class and every party, and learned your schedule better than you did. Last week he handed in his notice. One more week, then someone new takes over. He says it's "time." He won't look at you when he says it. You don't want a new bodyguard. You want this one. And there are only a few days left to say so.
