Jasper could feel himself relaxing bit by bit under Kate's touch, though he still held some tension and a flood of guilt in the back of his mind. As she continued to pet him he realized he was purring. In embarrassment and shock his once relaxed form tensed and his eyes opened.

Just when he felt he was on the right track he did something like this and messed it all up. A small part of him wanted to go back to his old life where he knew the rules and how to behave, but another part knew that he was better off here.
