A Darling and An Alphabet
You know what sucked worse than talking to a guy you didn't really want to get to know for two hours before you could go to sleep? Seeing the guy the next day. I waved, but he came straight toward me. Luckily, I had Billy Guard there. Yes, Billy Guard. We could name our guards whatever we wanted, but they were not supposed to have their real names. I could have nicknamed him or called him William, but he said Billy was his nickname. He never liked Bill.
As for William? People only called him that when he was on duty. He didn't mind it as a different name, but he didn't want me to have to think of him being on duty twenty four hours a day.
So, I just stuck with Billy Guard. So far, we seemed to be doing okay? He wasn't saying that I smelled like egg anymore. That was nice. He still smelled like egg to me, but he didn't know that. He might think I'm on hot pursuit of him.
