“W-What are you doing, Jimmy?” Panicked, Alyssa instinctively tried to shove him away.
But in Jasper’s eyes, her struggle was seen as playing hard to get.
Jameson remained silent, only tightening his grip around her. His eyes were filled with mockery and

With his face now pale, Jasper turned away and stumbled back into the house.
Only then did Jameson loosen up his arms. Alyssa swiftly escaped from his grasp, eyes burning with
anger.
“Don’t do that again, Jameson. This is the last warning you’ll have, or I’m ending our friendship!”
“I’m… I’m sorry, Lyse.” Jameson quickly put on an innocent and guilty expression.
Jameson’s arms were left hanging in the air as he continued, “I know you treat me only as a friend. I’ve
done my best to keep myself in check, but I couldn’t control myself. I promise there won’t be a next

But Jasper seemed not to have noticed him. He continued walking slowly forward.
“Jasper. Jasper!” Landon grabbed Jasper’s arms, asking worriedly, “Where’s Lyse? What did you two
talk about? Did she forgive you?”
“Why would I want her forgiveness? I didn’t do anything wrong.” Jasper’s unfocused eyes were filled
with
exhaustion. It was as if Alyssa had shattered the light in them into smithereens. “I’m tired, Landon. If
nothing I do can keep Alyssa by my side or help me get to her, then why not just let her go?”
