"Do you need me to explain myself?" Hayden asked Keira seriously when he saw her, "No, I don't," Keira replied with a smile. "Don't bother explaining."

"Then you're not upset or misunderstanding anything?" His gaze held a hint of curiosity as he studied her.

She could tell he was worried. After all, he'd called and texted her, and she hadn't responded. Of course, he must've been overthinking things.

"I wasn't ignoring you," Keira reassured him. "I was spending time with Nina at the kindergarten. My phone was on silent." As she finished, she gently touched his face. "I need to get back to work."

Once the buzz died down, she'd likely return to the tranquility she cherished.

Keira didn't ask for an explanation, and Hayden didn't offer one. Still, she could sense something was off with him. His thoughtful gaze followed her whenever she glanced his way. Sometimes, men overthought things too. But she was busy, so she didn't dwell on it.
