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

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?”
