#Chapter376 Carmen and Jasper

/"Carmen, stop tantrumming. Come here and talk to me, like an adult. I have no idea what kicked this off but aren't you tired of this already?/" I know I am. She gets the same no—nonsense tone and for once it actually works on her, maybe because I really am fed up with it. She sighs heavily, turns back towards me and wanders back with resignation. Avoiding Jaspers eye.

/"I'm not going to forgive him. I'm done being someone everyone throws away. I'm no one's forced choice./" She glares his way, pouting like a child even though her eyes are misty and that flex of her jaw hints at tears being close, and I have to stop the smile that tugs at my face as her emotions hit me with close proximity. Carmen is bluffing and trying her hardest to convince herself that Jasper should go away. Inside she's begging him to come give her a hug and I have to stop myself from tugging her into my own arms for one.
