When Jasper, who had been standing behind Celine, heard that, he immediately walked up to Celine and stood next to her before saying, “Is this close enough for you?”

Celine did not say anything. She reached out, took hold of Jasper’s arm, and put her head on his shoulder. She said with a smile, “This is better.”
