Estelle quirked an eyebrow. "What's up?"

Lambert's gaze suddenly softened, his deep brown eyes reflecting a beautiful light as he stared at her unwaveringly. Then, a slow smile spread across his face. "You're every bit as stunning as I imagined."

Estelle pressed again, "You looking for a bodyguard?"

"Absolutely." The man grinned broadly, his pearly whites on full display. "I'm in the market for a bodyguard who's as beautiful as you."

Estelle replied, "If you want me for a bodyguard, it's gonna cost you a pretty penny."

"Don't worry, with the rate I'm paying, I wouldn't dream of it," Lambert said with a cheeky grin. "But from now on, unless you're sleeping, you've got to be by my side."

Estelle nodded. "Deal."

"Ok, let's head home."
