Can’t Win Me Back

Alyssa stared blankly at Jasper.

The icy look on his face reminded her of a mountain that was covered in white snow.

She was clearly right in front of him.

Yet, it was as if they were separated by the farthest distance in the world.

Although he was clearly aware that she was in love with him, he was drawing a clear and firm line in front of her, separating himself from her passionate and tumultuous love for him.

He could no longer cajole her affectionately or think of her.

All of a sudden, she was completely submerged in that overwhelming feeling of disappointment.

As flustered as she was, it woke her up.
