Tears welled up in Alyssa's eyes as she wrinkled her nose slightly and pushed her luck. "A friend? Lover? Ex- lover? Or... someone who's unable to move on?"

Jasper's eyes were as dark as the night sky. "I don't know."

Alyssa stared at the cold, emotionless man before her, overwhelmed with helplessness. No words could describe the disappointment she felt.

Their bodies pressed together, so close she could feel his warmth, their breaths mingling in the space between them. Jasper could even see, with much clarity, those tiny pores on Alyssa's supple skin.
