Blanche's POV
After finishing up with the medicine in the afternoon, I headed off to work. Demetrius drove me back to the Callum Mansion that evening.
As I reached for the car door to get out, Demetrius was already out first. He opened the door for me, then held out his hand and said, "Let me give you a piggyback ride."
"Demetrius, really, you don't have to go to all that trouble. I can walk back myself," I said, feeling a bit embarrassed as I kept refusing.
Demetrius still looked worried. "We're already at the door; it's just a few more steps. If something happened to you because I didn't walk you in, your parents would definitely blame me.
"You don't want me to be the culprit in your parents' eyes, do you?"
He was clearly joking, and I could tell he meant well. Now that he'd brought up my parents, I really couldn't argue anymore. So, I handed him my hand and said, "Sorry to trouble you, Demetrius."
Demetrius took my hand and helped me out of the car.
