Heal

“Great, so what are you trying to say? I really forgave them, Jazz.” Liam fought very hard to build and build and build. Jasper couldn’t take that away from him. Yet, he found it incredibly difficult to ignore the way huge hands grabbed his knees and squeezed.


“I know you did. But I also know you’re still hurting. You can’t hide from me…Isn’t that why you left?”


“I’ve hidden because you influence the way I act. I can’t think clearly with you around me,” Liam replied.


A knowing look flashed on Jasper’s face for a flick of the moment. It was always like that when he spotted weakness he could use to gain an advantage in their conversations.
