His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

They were on the second floor of the Falconridge Grand Theatre, where an art exhibition took place.

They didn't shy away from the paparazzi's flashing cameras, their eyes locked in a tender gaze.

Once upon a time, Eliza had dreamed that Casper would look at her like that, but her joyous pursuit only ended in cold stares and mockery.
