Life at the Top

Dean’s eyes were full of melancholy. He wanted to tell Jasper everything, but he did not know where to start. At this moment, a pair of broad hands fell on Dean’s shoulders.

“Okay, Mr. Laine, I’m relieved now that I have your word.”

“They will come to my house this afternoon. I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold them back myself, so I wanted to ask you to help.”

Dean sighed from time to time, his words laced with some anxiety.
