His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Was this really the same Casper he knew?

"That's ridiculous." Casper was becoming more and more of a stranger to Aaron. "Have you never once doubted Nova?"

Casper's swing froze mid-air, but then he laughed. "You think Nova set her own house on fire, blinded herself, and broke her own leg?" Logically, it didn't add up.

If it made no sense for Nova, did it somehow make more sense for Eliza to have convinced someone else to start the fire?

Whether it made sense or not, it was all up to Casper's whims.

"It seems you trust Nova way more than Eliza," Aaron said, a hint of self-mockery in his voice. "Sure, she's your crush. Of course, you'd believe her. But you need to have a sense of right and wrong." Casper didn't respond, hitting another ball. "Dr. Martin, are you here to give me a morality lecture?"

"I'm in no position to lecture you on morals. Just a friendly reminder: some actions can't be undone. Think it over."

Aaron didn't linger.

After he left, Casper furiously snapped his expensive golf club. Panting, he took out his phone and dialed a number. "Dillon, get back from Seaville right now. I have an urgent task for you." Casper held the phone as Aaron's words echoed in his mind, "Have you never once doubted Nova?"

Should he be doubting her?
