His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

"This is something Daniel got for me on a business trip. He said he didn't know much about it, just that it was pricey and should be good." Renee's eyes sparkled with amusement as she looked up at her husband in the living room. "Daniel, tell me, did you get swindled?"

"Whatever you say, dear," Daniel replied with a doting smile.

Renee let out a playful huff. "Daniel, you haven't heard Eliza play the harp yet, have you? She's amazing, way better than me. How about we ask her to play something?"

"Renee, Mrs. Welton hurt her hand. Let's not ask her to play now. There will be other opportunities."

"What?" Renee looked surprised as she glanced over at Eliza's hand. "How did you get injured?"

"Just a small cut, nothing serious," Eliza explained casually.

"You gotta be more careful next time."

"Sure."

"I really miss seeing you play the harp. I remember whenever there was a concert, Aaron would show up just to see you. You really have quite the charm," Renee joked.

Eliza's heart tightened, and she couldn't bring herself to look at Casper's stormy expression.
