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.

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.
