"He's more likely to threaten your bank account or your credit rating than your physical person." She smirks. "Or, your car. He is a doctoral candidate for mechanical engineering."

She shrugs. "His boyfriend might loom, but Kevin's a teddy bear." Brigid wrinkles her nose. "He's huge, but a teddy bear." She's tiny compared to him and it's an odd thing to feel when she's used to bigger people around most of the time.

Brigid threads her fingers into his hair. "When I teach, I can disappear into facts and dates and things I've memorized. Doing that around people tends to put them a bit off." She shrugs. "there's a reason I usually retreat into a corner with a book."
