Jasper leaned into the touch, seeking comfort in it. He didn't want to leave Kate's side but knew he had to. Remaining where he was for a few more moments, he soon stood shakily and with one last look to Kate slipped out into the hallway.<br/><br/>He quietly padded to the door where he could hear Abigail, and cautiously opened the door.<br/><br/>"I don't want your healing or your trust. Just leave me alone." Abigail said from where she sat on the edge of the bed facing away from the door. Jasper remained silent as he moved to sit next to her and rest his chin on her shoulder.<br/><br/>"Jaspy, what are you doing here?" She asked, reaching back to scratch his scalp. "Shouldn't you be with your mistress?" Choosing to ignore what she had said, Jasper carefully wrapped one arm around Abigail.<br/><br/>"I'm worried about you." He managed to say, feeling her relax against him.<br/><br/>"Shouldn't it be me worrying about you?" Abigail asked with a small laugh. Turning from her seat she hugged her brother. "I did miss you, and you have changed." She pulled back to look up at him. When he didn't say anything she continued.<br/><br/>"From what you told me, about what happened to you, I know Kate's helped you a lot. I guess I just can't let someone else look after you when I already failed." Abigail sighed. "I'm sorry Jasp. You've already been through enough. Why don't we at least try to get some sleep?"<br/><br/>It took a little coaxing, but eventually Abigail managed to get Jasper to lie down, allowing her to wrap her arms around him and place her chin on his head. This was how it should have been. She thought, feeling Jasper relax somewhat as he fell asleep.<br/><br/>"Goodnight Jasper." She whispered, kissing the top of his head before drifting off herself.
