Since you're here too, I thought I'd introduce her to you. I plan to marry her, and she needs to meet my family eventually.
We bumped into you today, so it seemed like a good chance to introduce her." Burnet's piercing gaze seemed to see through Xander. "Xander, I've watched you grow up. I know you better than you think.
