“I like my independence more.” Beth and I have been friends since kindergarten, and in that time she’s had various security-type people following her around. I remember thinking she was a princess when I was young because all she would say about her bodyguards was “My grandpa is an important person in Russia.” I assumed that was code for king. I met him when I was ten years old, and he definitely didn’t seem like a king. He was just like any old grandpa. My current theory is that he is a nuclear scientist and knows all of Russia’s military secrets.
