Chapter Nineteen

Just around the corner, Sofia closed her eyes and leaned her head back against the wall, listening as Keegan started doing the interview with the teenager.

He'd handled it perfectly, getting the video offline, but still being a good guy.

Her ex would not have been nice to the boy in that situation, which showed that Keegan was different.

She knew he was different.

But her old instincts wouldn't let her believe it.

She'd freaked out and lost her mind when she'd invited herself back to Keegan's room. Scared herself so badly that she'd literally gone into panic mode and run for her life.

Slowly, she slid down the wall and sat on the carpet, pulling her knees to her chest as she listened to the interview. The kid was clearly in awe of Keegan, but Keegan was warm and funny, giving him his full attention, not a half-hearted interview that he didn't want to do.

Keegan talked about Christmas with his family, about their traditions, and their annual party. He told the boy he was delivering Hart's Bakery items to his local customers. His voice was full of such pride and warmth as he talked about Alice and her wonderful store, and the others they'd visited today.

Sofia smiled as she listened to Keegan describe each store, and what they brought that was so special to the Christmas season. By the time he finished, she was ready to go back to each store and live there.

Keegan might be a billionaire celebrity, but in his heart, he was a regular cowboy who loved the local folk, rescued horses, and protected those he cared about. He was still the teenage runway who had lost his mom in an accident and had fought to find his place in the world after society had let him down…a man who somehow had never let life chip away at the goodness that defined him.

She closed her eyes, listening to the sound of his voice, letting it wrap around and soothe the fear from her body. Without his attention on her, without having to worry about how she was feeling about him, it was safe to let his presence fill her heart with the peace and warmth that was him.

God, what was she going to do?

She realized that the reason she'd freaked out and run was because she was falling for him hard, just like before.

It was less than a day, and he seemed to consume her simply with his presence.

Was she brilliantly insightful that he was her match? Or just a foolish woman falling for a handsome knight who was willing to rescue her?

"Sofia?"

She opened her eyes to see Keegan crouching in front of her, his brow furrowed with concern. "Did you ever get married, Keegan? Are you in a relationship now?" She couldn't believe she'd never asked him that before having fantasies about him.

He sat down across from her and leaned against the wall, so his feet were touching hers. "I was engaged until a couple months ago."

"A couple months?" Suddenly, the same fear was back, that he was a player.
