Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

"I was just thinking about that conversation with Justin earlier tonight. It was really very intriguing," Alyssa explained.

"That would be the last time."

Jasper was still regretful that he had allowed them to meet. He pulled Alyssa in closer to him. "Next time, I will not let you come in contact with Justin again. Today was just an unexpected incident. Don't think too much about it."

"I'm not thinking too much about it. It seems to me that you're the one who's overthinking it."
