Phoenix:
We walk into the back of the house without a single care.
I know Raph is confused by what I said.
I hadn't told him about the interaction I had with Jalesa right before I got home or what she had told me.
If Jasper had continued to have some sort of relationship with her, even as a friend, without ever mentioning a single thing to me, then he obviously had decisions to make.
None of which involved me.
I was still in a war with my own mind.
He knew I had another mate, and I hadn't talked about him at all about it. To be fair, he never asked. I thought this was him being respectful and giving me space to figure it out, but I started to doubt that.
Was I really so naive to everything?
This was still no excuse to have me in a settlement with his ex-fiance without saying anything.
Was he trying to keep her on the back burner in case things didn't work out for us because I had a second mate?
