I looked away and took a step forward, "It's not that. I just don't want others to overthink it." "Oh." His response leftunsure of his feelings.
I didn't push it. We were adults, after all. We should understand boundaries and propriety. Plus, he didn't seem like the type to gossip The silence between Hayden andgrew awkward.

His clear eyes and rugged features gave him that tough, cool vibe, especially in his work gear. I was so lost in thought that I didn't even notice Hayden calling me. "Chere." Not sure what he wanted, I rushed over.
Of course, I didn't see a piece of equipment sticking out and slammed right into it. Pain shot through me, inteitol and lost my balance, stumbling forward. The electrician closest totried to catch me, but Hayden was faster. He blocked the electrician and caughtaround the waist.
His grip was strong and firm, making my waist feel even smaller in his hold.
