Fiona thought for a moment and then hit him with a thought-provoking question, "If I stay by your side, am I the one protecting you, or are you protecting me?" "Are you messing with me now?"

Fiona batted Alec's hand away, pouting, "That guy was really down on his luck. He didn't have an arm and hadn't seen a bath in days."
