His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Just as she stepped through the front gate, his car screeched to a halt.

She froze, startled, before quickly picking up her pace. Casper caught up in no time, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her inside. She was moving too slowly for him, and he simply swept her off her feet and carried her in.

He glanced over. "What's wrong with your foot?"

"Nothing," she muttered, not wanting to elaborate.

He frowned. "Come here, let me see."

"It's okay. I'm going to take a shower."

He stubbed out his cigarette, got out of bed, and lifted her from behind, placing her on the bed. Her foot was covered in blisters.
