Her reply only made his smirk get bigger. He pushed himself off the doorway and took a few steps closer to her. "I'm not assuming anything, love. You asked how I would keep you safe and I answered it. Now, if you want me to stay here all night, I'd be more than happy to do it," he teased her, dropping his messenger bag on the couch as he looked at her. "I can't have Smee losing his favorite vet because Freddy killed her in her dreams or some polstergueist dragged her into the closet. Smee would be sad, and we don't want that, do we?"
He hadn't really thought he'd stay there all night, just a couple of hours until she stopped 'hearing noises'. But he had no problem staying there for as long as she needed him too.
