Luna curled her toes in embarrassment , her fingers gripping the marriage certificate so tightly her knuckles turned white . Jasper had already settled back into his seat , but seeing her flustered state , he couldn't resist reaching out to ruffle her soft hair . With a teasing tone , he said , " A little tighter , and we'll have to apply for a replacement already . " Still lost in her embarrassment , Luna looked down and realized she'd crumpled the marriage certificate ! She quickly loosened her grip , smoothing it out gently . " Sorry , I didn't mean to . " So many people had praised her for staying calm under pressure . So why did she keep making a fool of herself around him ? Seeing her flushed cheeks , Jasper smiled . " It's alright . Take your time . I'll help you get used to it . " Luna's face instantly burned even hotter . Got used to what ? The seatbelt ? Or ... something else ? It wasn't like she'd never dated before . But compared to the cold and arrogant Brant , the gentle and witty Jasper was clearly harder to handle . During the marriage proposal earlier , she'd felt in control , but now , her emotions were completely at his mercy . No , staying this passive would only leave her at a disadvantage. She needed to regain the upper hand . Just as Luna was wondering how to break the awkward silence , her phone rang from inside her bag . The ringtone echoed loudly in the quiet car . When she saw Sadie Wilson's name on the screen , she answered immediately . Sadie was Luna's best friend . She'd been sent to Oskary for an exchange program six months ago and had been delayed on her way back , which was why she hadn't made it to the wedding . Sadie was bold and straightforward , her voice bright and clear . The moment the call connected , she dove right in , " Luna , I just got to the venue and heard the wedding was canceled ! What happened ? Did that jerk Brant do something to hurt you ? " " Canceled ? " Luna sounded confused . } Hadn't she and Jasper properly held the wedding , even gone home to get their documents before coming to City Hall ? Sadie fumed . " That's what Brant said ! The bastard wouldn't tell me where he was , or I'd have gone over and punched his lights out ! " After all the time and effort put into planning this wedding , how could he just call it off ? He better be half - dead in a hospital somewhere ! " Listening to Sadie's outburst , Luna asked softly , " You called him ? What did he say ? " " He said you two had a fight , and you got so upset you canceled the wedding last minute . That once you cool off , you'll reschedule . " Sadie didn't hold back . " What a load of crap . I don't believe a word of it ." Luna's expression darkened . So he pinned all the blame on her and kept quiet about her public proposal to someone else ? Did he really think she was just throwing a tantrum and would eventually come back to marry him ? P Sadie said , " It's not that I don't believe him . I know you . No one understands better than me how much you've invested in this wedding . " That dream ceremony you've been looking forward to for so long was right in front of you . How could you possibly cancel it last minute just because of some argument ? He must have done something unforgivable to cross your line ! " Hearing someone else reflect her past hopes for the wedding , then comparing it to how things had actually turned out , Luna couldn't help but sigh . She took a soft breath , but before she could say anything , a sharp screech of brakes cut through the air . Luna jolted forward in her seat . If not for the seatbelt , she might have hit the windshield . She was about to ask why he'd braked so suddenly when his low voice reached her . " Sorry , I got distracted for a moment ." Luna turned to look at him . His profile was tense as he focused on the road , and he seemed ... unhappy . Was he angry ?
