Instead of him walking out as she had ordered despite her using a tone of finality, Xanth walked toward her and stood by her head, “I have something else to say.” He knew she felt uncomfortable with him around and he could swear with his life that she hated the way he made sure there was always proximity between them. But how could he help it? “Say whatever it is you want to and get out of my sight.” She felt ashamed to look him I the eye, she knew it wasn’t her mistake
