I absolutely love these two chapters, you've accomplished a love-hate sort of relationship between Jasper and Elise. I love when Jasper grabs Elise out of the fountain, because he's supposed to be the sort of charecter to jump in a fountain and we get to see the part of him that holds genuine concern for Elise more clearly and him breaking charecter, if only momentarily.
Ah thank you <3!! Really glad you liked the dynamic between Jasper and Elise. The fountain scene was one I really wanted to highlight Jasper’s softer side, so it’s awesome to hear it worked! Appreciate the kind words!!
