Can’t Win Me Back

The room was silent.

Sheryl heard the name "Lyse" clearly.

Alarm bells started ringing in her head.

Didn't Justin warn that this type of medication could interfere with a person's emotional processing? It was meant to erase all traces of Jasper's passionate devotion to Alyssa so he would never yearn for the woman he once loved.

So why would he mention Alyssa's name now? Jasper stared at his reflection in the mirror, surprised to see himself standing there alone.

He had convinced himself he didn't need anyone else in his life.

Yet, for some strange reason, the moment he said "Lyse"’, it felt as if ahole had formed in his heart.

An echo reverberated through that void, one he couldn't ignore.

He didn't realize that her name echoed because he couldn't forget her.

While Jasper stood lost in thought, soft hands suddenly glided across his broad shoulders and around his neck.

A light fragrance drifted to his nose.

Looking down, he met Sheryl's eyes, filled with tenderness.

The intensity in his dark gaze dulled immediately.
