Alice caught the look in Jasper’s eyes as they sat down and knew then that she had been right, eyes lingering briefly on the curve of his lips. She always liked it best when Jasper smiled though his quiet nature appealed to her as well. Drew her in like a moth to a steady flame because while everything could change he’d promised her to always stay and she believed him.
Shifting on the wooden bench so that she could cross her legs underneath her, Alice turned so that she was facing the other vampire though her attention quickly fell to their hands. Both of her own now moving to the task of playing with his strong fingers, bending them forward and back. Tracing over the smooth lines and faint traces of scars from a time before them. “Let’s see what we find at the military base first. That’s where Selene wants to go before heading into town. Who knows what we could find there.”
Though Alice already had a clue and tried to hide her smile.
