Can’t Win Me Back

Jasper's heart hammered against his ribs, a frantic drum solo threatening to burst through his chest.

He clenched his hand into a fist against the door.

"Why not?" Winston was perplexed.

"Jasper treats you the best.

The relationship between both of you has already stabilized, and you've lived together for so long.

Why don't you just register your marriage? That way, things will get a lot easier once your relationship is legally recognized." Alyssa pressed her lips together lightly.

He was insecure, depressed, regretful, and remorseful.
