Chapter 140

“You’re thinking too hard,” Keegan suddenly murmured, noticing how still Grace had gone, while her head was resting on his chest. “That’s dangerous.”

She blinked slowly but didn’t lift her gaze. “Hmm?”

“You get all quiet when something’s spinning in that pretty head. What is it?”

He replied, nudging her gently with his chin.

Grace didn’t answer right away but eventually, she sighed and pushed herself up just enough to look at him.

“I want to tell you something...”

Keegan sat up immediately hearing the tone in her voice, untangling his arms from her as if bracing for impact. Whatever it was, it mattered. And the slight edge to her voice made his pulse stutter.

He turned to face her completely with one hand reaching for hers as he searched her face.

“Please,” he said quietly, “tell me everything.”

Grace gave a faint laugh, when she saw how much worry had gathered in his expression.

“I...” she started, only to be cut off.
