"Mr. Casper, do you... still have feelings for Ms. Valerie?" he ventured.

Casper's cold gaze settled on Dillon. "She's the mother of my son. Do you really think I could be indifferent to her well-being?" Dillon fell silent. Was it because Eliza was the kid's mom? Or because his love hadn't really faded? Only Casper knew for sure.

Dillon scratched his nose awkwardly. "Honestly, hearing you say that, it makes me think you're not exactly the loyal type."

"What counts as loyalty? Relentlessly chasing someone? Making them uncomfortable? Or causing them pain and distress? True love, I believe, is wanting to see her happy, free, and unburdened." Love is about letting go, not holding on.
