Can’t Win Me Back

Jasper also spotted Alyssa, who was in Justin's presence.

A beautiful and harmonious scene like this had also once appeared in his monochromatic memories.

It felt like a bee had stung him on the tongue, the prickling, numbing sensation spreading through his body.

Distracted by his own emotions, he barely noticed when a few snowflakes brushed against his sculpted face.
