When Jasper Sherwood woke up the next day, he placed the small teddy bear next to his pillow.
Then he put on the new clothes Old Mrs. Sherwood had bought for him.
With a face like Jasper Sherwood's, he looked good in anything.
He glanced in the mirror and headed out.
Nina Donovan watched him go, her gaze filled with sorrow. 'Why is he still going to the Donovan's? She slapped him just yesterday! If I were you, I'd never speak to her again!'
She knew how stubborn Jasper was.
Just like how she had clearly rejected him many times before, but he just wouldn't give up.
She believed what Jasper had said.
Even if she went back to being the old Nina Donovan, he wouldn't give up.
He had to find an answer.
The love Jasper offered was too heavy a burden.
Nina even regretted how a moment of wishful thinking had led things to this point.
She could have rejected him more decisively.
But Jasper had moved her.
She couldn't help but want to take his hand.
