Jasper took me to a fancy restaurant for dinner. By the time we got there, he had already made sure the entire place was closed off just for us.

He had his assistant handle it, mostly to avoid any unwanted attention from his female fans.

But more importantly, he wanted to make sure we wouldn’t be interrupted or photographed by anyone who might be lurking around.

“What would you like to have? The steaks here are excellent,” Jasper asked, handing me the menu.

I took it and flipped through it without much thought, responding casually, “I’ll have the steak, then.”

“Rosaline, are you alright? Are you still upset about what happened with Stella?” Jasper asked, his eyes full of

concern.

I gave him a faint smile, trying to brush it off. “It’s nothing. I haven’t really thought about it.”

“Then why do you look so down?” Jasper asked, pushing a little further.

I didn’t know the answer. It wasn’t like what Caden did last night had anything to do with me, but I still couldn’t shake the feeling of unease.
