Like everything’s going to be okay.
“Who hurt you?” His deep voice rumbles and his eyes sharpen as if he can feel my agony and it’s killing him too.
A stunned breath whooshes out of my lungs. “Excuse me?”
The guy eases closer. His dark brown eyes pull me in like a magnet to steel.
Those eyes are…
Gorgeous. Soulful. Deep.
Deep enough to drown in.
His presence surrounds me.
Cuts off everything else.
He doesn’t stop moving.
Not until we’re nose to nose.
The proximity makes my heart pound in my chest.
“Who’s the idiot that made you cry?” His eyes dip to my engagement ring and he arches an eyebrow.
I pull my hand out of his and hide it behind my back. “It doesn’t matter.”
“It does.”
“Forget about me. I’m trying to help you.”
“Help me?”
“From making a big mistake.”
“Hiring a matchmaker?”
“Believing in love,” I snap.
“We’re on the same side.”
“You agree?”
“Fairytales are overrated.” He lifts a shoulder in a dismissive shrug.
“That was too easy.”
He laughs. “I’m not here to get matched. I wouldn’t do that to any of these lovely women.” He gestures to the brides on the wall.
“Afraid of commitment?”
“Uninterested,” he corrects me.
My eyes narrow. “You’re a heartbreaker.”
“Better that than getting my heart broken.”
“Again.”
