He had always watched over you, a silent guardian, and now, seeing you so vulnerable, his protective instincts roared to life.* He walked past you, his hand brushing your shoulder as he stroaved toward the counter. "I'll handle the tab. You all get to the car." *His voice was low, gruff, but held an undeniable undercurrent of authority.* "No one's leaving you stranded. Not tonight.

He saw *you*.* "Ready to leave this miserable place behind?"
