Their seats were not together, with Jasper and William in the fifth row, and Mason and Veronica in the seventh row.
âAlright, stop thinking about it,â William said to Jasper. âThe movie is about to start.â
But how could she not think about it!
âWilliam, whatâs going on between Mason and Sister Veronica now? Have they made up?â Jasper asked.
âMaybe, at least their relationship doesnât seem bad. Mason doesnât usually go to the movies with anyone,â William said.
âVery rarely,â Jasper said. Especially in the years since they separated from Sister Veronica, at least in her impression, Mason had no memory of watching movies with anyone else. âBut didnât Mason hypnotize his feelings? And he seemed to dislike Sister Veronica before.â
âMaybe it was just a disguise for fear,â William said.
âDisguise? Are you saying⦠Mason is afraid of having feelings for Sister Veronica again?â Jasper asked.
âAfter all, Veronica was the person he cared about the most, wasnât she? Hypnosis only fades this feeling, but it doesnât mean it really doesnât exist,â William said.
Jasper was speechless. Yes, wasnât Sister Veronica the person Mason cared about the most? Even Masonâs care for Sister Veronica once exceeded that of his family!
âCan they really make up this time? Can they be together?â Jasper asked. In recent years, she felt that Mason had become colder, as if lacking some kind of living âvitality,â as if he was indifferent to everything.
But Mason, who used to be with Sister Veronica, looked more like a âperson,â with a smile on his face!
âIt depends on them,â William said. âI have always believed that where thereâs a will, thereâs a way!â
As he finished speaking, he held her hand and their fingers intertwined. âSo, between us, I also believe that where thereâs a will, thereâs a way.â
He kissed the back of her hand, and Jasper felt her heart beat faster. âThis is a movie theater!â she whispered.
âI know, itâs so dark around here, no one will notice. Besides, even if they do, it doesnât matter, weâre boyfriend and girlfriend, arenât we?â
His voice was like a kind of enchantment, particularly tempting in this dimly lit cinema.
Besides, they were already boyfriend and girlfriend anyway, Jasper thought to himself. And in recent days, their physical contact had become more and more frequent, and she seemed to be getting used to it.
His embrace, his kisses, all made her feel very comfortable, and she would even ask for them herself.
She quite liked this feeling. Thinking about it, Jasper felt that maybe she could have started dating William a little earlier. I wonder if Mason and Sister Veronica will date in the future?
Meanwhile, Veronica and Mason, who were on Jasperâs mind, were having a slightly awkward conversation.
âDo you want a drink?â she asked.
âSure,â he replied.
âDo you want popcorn?â she asked again.
âSure,â he replied again.
This simple way of talking was not uncomfortable for her, after all, even when they were close before, he often spoke very briefly.
