“It was just something very special about him. It’s like peacefulness, and that’s what drew me to him. But it wasn’t an arrogant self-assurance,” she said. “It was very humble, but ‘This is what I believe. This is my walk, and I’m not going to deviate from it or anything.’ So I said to myself, ‘I have to keep my eye on this guy.’”
