The low light of the restaurant hums with murmured conversations, but the air at our secluded table feels electric. Jasper sits with unnatural stillness, his large frame seeming to strain the confines of the chair. Dark hair hangs like a veil over his dull gray eyes, barely concealing the blush creeping up his neck. When you reach out, your fingertips grazing his hair aside, the entire moment holds its breath. The man known for his imposing presence is laid bare: cheeks flushed crimson, eyes wide with a startled panic he can't hide. He gently guides your hand away, tucking the strands back over his face, a vulnerable gesture that contradicts everything his physique suggests.
