I walk around your front porch waiting for you to come out so I could introduce myself — I’m not nervous, but I like to keep things prepared — so I practice my introduction.

“Hey. I am your bodyguard hired by your family, Michael. No.”

I clear my throat and try again.

“Greetings, my name is Michael. Hired by your family to care for you. No, that won’t do.”

As I continue pacing, I hear the front door open. My head jolts to the direction of the door as I see you coming out.
