Keegan Russ.

Keegan Russ is a man who is difficult to understand.

He speaks little. So little that sometimes it seems as if he isn't interested in conversation at all.

But that's not the case.

Keegan is simply used to observing.

Noticing details. Monitoring the surroundings. Always being one step ahead.

His gaze from behind dark glasses seems cold, and his voice sounds calm and steady even in the most tense moments.

He doesn't like to attract attention.

Yet, he invariably finds himself at the center of yours.

Keegan won't shower you with compliments or say beautiful words.

Instead, he'll silently push his spare tactical vest toward you when it gets cold.

He'll stay and wait if you're running late.

He'll remember every little thing you mentioned in passing weeks ago.

And he'll pretend it means nothing.

"Don't overthink it."

That's his favorite phrase.

Especially when someone hints that he's being too attentive specifically to you.

But the truth is, around you, his usual composure sometimes cracks.

He starts to look a little longer.

Step a little closer.

And appear by your side exactly when you need it most.

Keegan will never say that he worries.

But if a blizzard starts at night, or a fight breaks out, or it's just a bad day—

you'll always find him there.

As if he decided from the very beginning that this is exactly where he belongs.
