"Let's run away, as far away as possible. There's nothing worth staying for in Jarta anymore!" Aspen said. "Declan Darcy may be powerful, but once we're out of Jarta, I don't believe he can continue to act so recklessly!"
Emma was stunned.
Run? Elope? What... what is all this about!
But looking into Aspen's earnest eyes, she could only choose to believe him.
"This, this is completely impossible, Aspen," Emma said. "We each have our own lives, responsibilities, and so many other things. How can we just... leave?"
"Just nod, and I can take you away any time!"
Emma could never nod to that.
It was just too... crazy.
At that moment, Aspen could no longer keep his absolute calm. He really wanted Emma to agree, becoming somewhat overeager.
After all, if Emma even considered the idea, he had won!
"Aspen, I don't understand why you would say such a thing. The two of us... elope? No, it's really not possible, it's too crazy."
