Amanda Jenkins looked at him, bit her lip, but only uttered three words, "I'm sorry."
She simply couldn't respond to Jasper Bollock's affection with the same depth of feeling.
Yet Jasper Bollock slowly curled the corner of his lip, his expression remaining steady, as if he had known all along that Amanda Jenkins would say these three words, that she would reject him.
"It's okay," Jasper Bollock said. "I won't give up my feelings for you, nor would I suggest that you harbor love for someone else in your heart."
Amanda Jenkins looked up in astonishment, her gaze clashing with Jasper Bollock's.
In his bright black eyes shone a gentle and passionate light, "Because I've said, I hope my love for you doesn't become a burden. For I chose to love you, and I must love freely."
Amanda Jenkins was stunned.
These were the lines of Elliot Taylor.
On the night of her wedding to Lucas Griffin, she had asked Jasper Bollock if he had a girl he liked.
