Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Jasper's chest tightened as he listened silently.

"If he says 'yes' tonight, we will register our marriage first thing tomorrow morning."

Jonah was always the calm and restrained type of person. At this moment, however, there was a sense of happiness in his voice. A slight tremble accompanied his every word, as if he was forcing himself to hold his excitement back.

"Same-sex marriage is legal in Bernardia. There can be no better opportunity than this."

"Congratulations, Jonah," Jasper said in a low voice, which carried a hint of envy.

"I have been keeping this thought to myself for a really long time. I didn't know who to tell. It didn't feel right to tell Lyse either."

Jonah chuckled awkwardly. "After thinking about it, I figured you are the only one I can tell."

"It is my privilege to be the first to find out about your good news."

Jasper smiled. He gave them his blessings from the bottom of his heart. "I give my sincerest blessings to the both of you. You and Julien must be happy together, Jonah." "Thank you. We will. The same goes for you and Lyse." In a warm voice, Jonah urged, "Even Landon has settled down. When are you going to marry Lyse, Jasper?"

Jasper stopped in his tracks. He dashed to hide behind a potted plant.

Through the window, the bright moonlight shone on a pair of lovers embracing one another, highlighting the beautiful and meaningful moment that they shared.

Sean had his arms around Tatiana's waist. He planted kisses all over her face, from her forehead to her cheeks and her lips. He was extremely gentle with her, as if all he wanted was to make her his. Tatiana was madly in love with him in the first place. She couldn't hold up against him being all over her like that. Soon enough, she melted into his arms, moaning softly.

Her eyes were reddened. The look in her
