After Jeff and JoAnna left, most of the people went to their rooms. The wedding party was over.
Some guests still lingered in the event hall. The resort staff was available to serve them.
Jasper and Ellie stayed in the garden, unwilling to end the night and part ways.
Jasper knows that Ellie will not spend the night with him even if he promises to keep his hands (and the rest of the body) to himself. So, this is the best he can do to stay close to her.
Part of him fears that tomorrow she will act like nothing happened, and he needs to start wooing her again. So far everything about getting close to Ellie was more difficult than usually, but for some reason with every small progress made, he felt a big sense of accomplishment.
"For tomorrow… when and where should I pick you up?", Jasper asked Ellie.
