Jasper was already waiting when I arrived. By the time I stepped into Blues, he was sitting in the corner.

The cafe was empty, and it wasn’t until later that Llearned Jasper had rented the entire space to avoid being interrupted.

As I entered, I saw him seated by the window. His expression brightened as soon as he noticed me, and he stood to greet me.

“Hey, Jasper” I took a deep breath and walked over. “Sorry I’m late?”.

“No, I was the one who arrived early,” he said, his gaze full of warmth.

I shook my head as I made my way inside. He followed and pulled out a chair for me like a true gentleman.

“I ordered some mocha for you. Your favorite, is that alright?”

I nodded, sitting down and sipping the coffee. “Thanks.”

“It’s been months, and you’re still as beautiful as ever,” Jasper said, offering a sincere compliment.

I shifted uncomfortably and decided to change the subject. “What made you come back? Weren’t you under contract with Goldenwood for six months?”

I canceled it, Jasper replied with a casual shrug.

“What?” I was taken aback. “Going to Goldenwood, becoming the world’s top star–that was your dream. Why give that up?”

“Compared to love, dreams don’t mean much,” he said, his voice quieter now. “Rosaline, I don’t believe love Caden. You’re just trying to make me back off, aren’t you?”
