Kapitel 920: After the fashion show (5)

Later that evening…

Ellie got on the bed next to Jasper. She didn't snuggle close to him as usually. After the incident where she was attacked and then she saw Jasper pummel that man in his rage, she feels like he is different. Something is different. She wants to get closer, but there is some uneasiness that needs to be cleared out. Somehow.

"Are you sleeping?", she asked.

Jasper opened his eyes and glanced at the gap between them.

Ellie can see that he does not approve of that gap.  

"Can we talk about what happened?", Ellie broke the silence.

He looked at her with a frown still present on his handsome face. "You first."

"Uhm…" She wanted to talk about it. That is the only way to get things clarified, but she is not sure what to say. "I was scared. I was never so close to being hurt. At least not that I know of. I think that what Aiden said makes sense. We should be more careful and prepared so that these things don't happen."
