“Maybe they secretly want to be.”

“You might have a point. If you must know, Wolfie—”

“Wolfie?” He raises his brows.

“My friend—his name is Wolfgang—was going to go downtown to the fountain on the square with me tonight, so I could take some night shots for my project. The day ones are ready to go, but I need different lighting.”

“In the nude?”

“No.” I giggle. “He was just going as a chaperone, so I could take some pictures of the fountain and not have to worry about watching my back. When you’re behind the camera, all you see is what’s through the lens. It’s a safety thing. I’m thinking about risking it and going alone.”

“Don’t do that.” He gives me the are-you-a-total-moron look. “That’s stupid. I’ll go with you, if you really need to go.”

“Stop it. You don’t have to do that. It’s late enough as it is, and you have a test in the morning.”

“So? It’s not like I have a curfew.” He places his book into his bag. “And you shouldn’t be down there alone at night. I’ll stand with you and watch your back while you take your pictures.”

“You would really do that?”

“Sure.” Foster pushes the bridge of his dark glasses higher. “Why not? Weren’t you sent here to—how did you put it? Babysit me? I can return the favor.”

“I don’t know what to say.”

“Most people usually just go with thank you.”

“Then, thank you.” I smile.

“You’re welcome.”
