His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

"You said we needed some space to cool off. It's been a week, and I'm good now. How about you?"

Eliza's eyes, beautiful yet slightly furrowed, found it a bit amusing. "You're all cooled off? If I hadn't been here eating, if I hadn't bumped into you, Mr. Casper, would you still have cooled off? Would you still have come looking for me to say this?"

Casper scooted closer to her, almost brushing against her. "If you're cooled off too, let's head home."

"She did it on purpose." He wasn't clueless.

Eliza chuckled lightly, "Oh, so you noticed?"
