Can’t Win Me Back

Justin seemed to embody every word that defined gentleness, composure, and grace.

Despite his physical imperfections, he never gave up on himself or resented others.

Even so, Alyssa felt an inexplicable sense of unease around him.

Standing beside him left her feeling oppressed in a way she couldn't quite put into words.

"I'm fine, thank you." Alyssa raised her arm and wiped her tears with her sleeve.

She remembered how she used to cry so freely, especially in front of Jasper.

She'd ruin her entire image, sobbing into his shirt or tie.

Unlike Justin, Jasper never offered her a handkerchief.

He was more like a giant tissue—always there, letting her cry on him, no matter how disheveled it left him.

Even so, he would still coax her tenderly and plant kisses on the tip of her reddened nose.

He made space for her boundlessly.
