"He takes his job very seriously," she explained. "He believes he is on this planet to protect me and take care of me.
"And every single time I come out of the bathroom, I open up the bathroom door and come out of my shower, and he's sitting there, with his back to the bathroom door, in a position on alert. Then he turns around and he gives me the sweetest little look [that says], 'Good, you're okay'. It touches my heart every single time."
