"I can't keep pretending that I don't care." ((Remember the thing we wanted to redo?? ;) ))
Confusion was clear on Jasperâs face. He never knew what Zachary was thinking which was a rather uncomfortable place for one like him to be in. Jasper thrived when he had control of a situation and knew all the facts needed to properly deal with it.
Zachary was new to his life and societal norms suggested you must know someone for a longer time before pressing into their inner secrets and traumasâ but Jasper would not consider himself to be so rightly normal. Besides, Zachary hadnât had anyone all this time that heâs been a ghostâ certainly there were things he wished to get off his chest.
Plus, Jasper was older, he wasnât so careful with his secrets any longer, all Zachary had to do was ask and he would willingly divulge whatever the other wished to know. He was trustworthy.
âThen donât pretend. I donâtâŚthere is no need to pretend for my sake. Or anyone elses sake for that matterâŚZachary, you can tell me whatâs on your mind.â
