She did as he asked as he carried her into her room. He sat her on the bed and proceeded to get her water, wheat toast, a banana, and aspirin. He spent the next hour coaxing her to eat and drink. She continued talking about the people she’d interviewed and what their stories were. She also said that she was going to find her person even if it wasn’t him.

He thought a lot about what she’d said, that he was one of the main reasons that she’d come here. That she hadn’t stopped thinking about him. That she thought she could fall in love with him.
If she really did feel that way, he still wasn’t sure what she wanted or what he could offer her. Her life was insane and she needed stability and someone that knew how to take care of her, how to deal with the drama that surrounded her. He was having a hard time just protecting her as a bodyguard and he’d never been in a real relationship before.

As he watched her sleeping peacefully he couldn’t believe that he’d been so wrong about her, about them. All his life his mom and sister had said that guys could be so blind, but he’d never really thought he was. He thought he could read women and what they wanted.
Apparently, he was wrong.
