Amanda Jenkins's eyes widened in shock, and tears streamed down her face.
"Amanda Jenkins, I've liked you for a very long time, since the moment I first saw you."
In the dimness, Jasper Bollock's eyes were ablaze with intensity, his lips curling into a faint smile.
That affection, which was supposed to be buried forever, broke through the soil in this moment, unstoppable.
If he didn't say it today, he might never have another chance.
"I'm sorry..." Amanda's tears fell like rain.
How could she be so foolish.
How could she not realize that Jasper Bollock's kindness towards her wasn't the way one treated just any friend?
If she had known this, she wouldn't have troubled him, wouldn't have disturbed him, and now she has actually implicated him.
Such deep affection, she simply couldn't reciprocate.
Her heart, her mind, was filled only with Lucas Griffin.
