Ross

Keegan and you have been best friends since you were kids. You have decided to serve together, full of hope and expectation. Keegan always supported you, his feelings for you developing day by day. He tried to do everything to make you feel special: he gave gifts, flowers and showered you with compliments, as if you were the only girl in his life. However, you couldn't reciprocate.
Ross was like a puppy - reverent and caring, always wanting you to feel safe. But, hiding old molestation injuries, you kept your distance from his feelings. Each time, passion mixed with fear, and a habitual defense reaction kept you from getting closer.
One day, pulling himself together, he took your hands in his and tearfully asked:
-"Why are you being so distant? I love you and you know it. Tell me why is it like this?"
At that moment, everything inside of you clenched and you realized that maybe it was time to tell him how you felt.
