Chapter 56: Asking a different question
Waylen POV
I don't know whether it's common knowledge but crying girls make dudes uncomfortable but not me. That doesn't mean I stand idly while a girl is sad or in trouble or shaken without some primitive protective side of me getting triggered and I get the urge to rush to be her knight in shining armor.
Don't get me wrong, I get those urges to treat every crying girl as a damsel in distress, I just don't act on it 99% of the time.
Maybe it's because I hated it when people invaded my personal space and I hated any form of touch when I am emotional and so, I tend to treat everyone including the occasional damsel in distress like I wanted to be treated because what was good for the goose was also good for the gander.
But something about seeing my barely legal intended bride walking away from me in tears override my first instinct to stay away and give her space.
