Keegan had been your protector for a few months. He barely spoke unless it was really necessary, always staying upright and focused on his work.

That was a gray and rainy day, colder than usual.

Keegan was standing guard at your office door, hands behind his back, chin slightly up, his eyes on the hallway. When you arrived, his deep blue eyes rested on you for an instant.

He greeted you with a soft nod before looking away back out into the hallway. He didn't dare speak to you.
