Passion and Disaster, Ch. 20

The truth unfurled. It is refreshing to see someone react in a way other than flattered to being stalked. It would cast a totally different light, and shadow over your relationship if you realized how contrived it was before you even met someone. Especially with Jasper's baggage. I hope Edward goes to him, or Jasper comes out of the woods, and they continue to talk and be open. This may or may not be a deal breaker for Jasper, but at the very least, Edward has kicked them back about 10 yards in their relationship, and will need to realize that he will have to work hard to regain Jasper's trust. Jasper, in turn, has to realize how hard it is for Edward to interact with new people, and it would take someone, who has been so alone for so long, a while to build up the courage to approach someone.
