He touched her forehead too, smiling softly. “You’re right, no fever.”

“Let’s go eat then.”

“Okay.”

Jasper smiled to himself, staring at her face. He wanted to pinch her cheek like he used to when they were little.

“You paid for the movie. My treat for dinner.”

“No, I’ll treat you.”

“Fine. You offer, I pay.”

Jasper laughed out loud.

“Jas! Zoe’s eyes lit up excitedly.

She never expected to run into him here.

“Miss Walsh, my family is strict about manners. Please call me Jasper.”

Zoe’s face fell immediately.

She hadn’t forgotten his warning from yesterday, but she couldn’t break the habit. She’d called him that in her head for years.

Nicole was confused by his strict line, but she felt strangely happy.

What is he trying to say?

Using me to chase others away… or hinting he likes me?

“Sorry.” Zoe smiled awkwardly. “What a coincidence, running into you both.”

Jasper and Nicole nodded in perfect sync, leaving Zoe even more embarrassed.

“I’ll let you enjoy your meal. My friends are waiting for me. I’ll go now.”

“Okay.”

Jasper’s reply was almost too quick.

He kept a polite smile, but Zoe could feel his cold distance.

She left awkwardly.

“Family strict about manners?” Nicole looked at him, full of teasing.

“Yeah.”

“Is your someone a big jealous type?”

Jasper looked up at her. “A little.”

“Who is she? Do I know her?”

She asked casually, pouring coffee like nothing was wrong.

“You do.”

“Oh… who?”

“I’m not telling.”

Nicole nodded thoughtfully. “Jas, you said we had no secrets.”

Her tone was just like Zoe’s had been a moment ago.

Jasper laughed gently, warm as spring breeze.

“We don’t. But I’ll introduce her to you later.”

“Oh.”

Nicole’s heart sank a little.

Am I wrong? He doesn’t like me?

Forget it.

If not, I’ll just find another handsome guy. No big deal.

But why does my heart ache a little?

Jasper poured her fresh coffee. “What’re you thinking? Why the frown?”

“Zoe likes you. You know that, right?”

“Yeah. That’s why I keep my distance.”

“She’s so pretty. Doesn’t she make you fall for her?”

Jasper shook his head. “In terms of pretty… you’re a hundred times more beautiful.”

“You have great taste!”

The uncomfortable feeling in Nicole’s chest was gone.

She ate happily, completely satisfied.

Jasper didn’t even realize how soft his eyes were.

On the ride back, Nicole yawned and fell asleep leaning against the car seat.

Jasper watched her gently.

Nicole… if you keep teasing me like this, you have to take responsibility.

He raised his hand to tuck her hair behind her ear, but stopped. It felt too intimate, too forward for what they were.

Nicole brushed the strand away on her own, murmured softly, and fell back asleep.

Her head tilted suddenly and rested on his shoulder.

Jasper froze completely, not daring to move. But a smile spread across his face, soft and bright.

The car stopped at the Shaw Estate.

“Mr. Moore.”

The driver started to speak, but Jasper gestured for silence. Still, Nicole woke up. She rubbed her eyes. “We’re home?”

“Yeah.”

“I’m going in. Bye.”

Nicole waved and opened the door, then turned back. “Thanks for the ride. The movie was great. My treat next time.”

“Okay.”

Nicole turned to the driver, “Please drive safely. Bye!”

“Miss Shaw, goodbye.”
