“Yes… I… I’m okay,” Luisa stammered, which made Alden finally realize the strangeness of his behavior.

He instantly let go of her face, took a few steps back, and cleared his throat. “I’m sorry. I know you don’t want me getting close to you. I shouldn’t have touched you like that.

An awkward silence ensued as they both stared down at the ground before Luisa mustered the courage to speak.” I… Thank you. For saving me from Victor.”

“I did not ‘save‘ you. I just helped you out with the bastard. No need to thank me,” he said, trying to downplay the magnitude of the help he’d given her.

Luisa shook her head. “No, I have to thank you. If you hadn’t arrived, he would’ve probably taken me away because I’m so weak and-”

“Hey, no. Don’t say that,” Alden quickly cut her off. He felt an overwhelming urge to hold her and assure her, but he managed to stop himself. Just barely. What was wrong with him?

“You’re not weak, Luisa. He’s a man, and you’re a woman, so he naturally has more physical strength than you. That doesn’t make you weak. That makes him a coward for wanting to take advantage of that.” He paused, gazing at her before continuing. “Besides, you didn’t go with him without a fight, and that just shows how courageous you are.”

Luisa was stunned by his words. None of the men she’d been with before had ever said such beautiful things to her. Not Brandon and definitely not Victor. And yet Alden…

She kept her stare fixed on him, unable to tear her eyes away, until someone cleared their throat.

It was Clark, who commented sheepishly, “Is it me or does it feel a little too hot out here?”
