Chapter 49

Kara

"Is Jasper okay?" I ask as I throw myself into Abel's arms when he shows up on my doorstep a few hours later.

"I asked if he wanted me to stay with him tonight, told him we could order some pizza, and he said he was good. Do I really think he's okay? Hard to say with him. He's hurting, and it's shitty what his grandfather is doing to him."

I don't know the man we're talking about, and if he's making things difficult on Jasper, I don't want to know him. Jasper has been nothing but nice since I met him early last year. "Do you still wanna show me the train trestle? It's cold, and there's still snow on the ground, but I'm willing to go if you are. I spend so much time in the food truck, I enjoy hiking. Plus, my ass has put on a few pounds these last few months."
