'And he's okay, at home with his mom?'

Jasper hums, 'I did. He asked if you were okay, and I told him you were doing better out of that house.'

'Heidi says I'm attached to you like you're my safety blanket.' I mutter.

Jasper chuckles. 'Maybe, but if so, you're my safety blanket too.'

I laugh, the first laugh that's come from my mouth in weeks and Jasper squeezes me tightly.
