His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

"Ma'am, you really should go to the hospital. Your knee is full of glass shards. How are you going to take them out on your own?"

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.
