Stella Grace felt that Jasper Milton had changed. He didn't seem to be as... blunt as before.
After all, they had both matured. Sometimes it would be better to laugh your way through an awkward situation.
There was a connection between them.
Stella was shy so she pretended not to understand him. "Didn't you mention dinner? Let's go."
She quickly put on some clothes and walked out of the room. She didn't notice that Jasper was smiling.
He seemed happy.
As Stella sat down at the dining table, Jasper's phone rang.
He answered the call and his expression changed. "Got it. I'll come over now."
Stella noticed something was wrong. "What happened?"
"Something came up at the base. I need to go there now," Jasper explained as he grabbed his coat from the hanger.
Stella looked at the dishes on the table and asked, "Are you still eating?"
