"I really wanted Ron to know that I support his decision to take in Caroline, but I sort of just fell apart before I could tell him. I see you and him together and I get so jealous. You two are so perfect together, you are both strong, kind, and selfless. But me... I'm his opposite, I'm nothing like him and I wish I had something to give him like you do. When I'm with him, I feel so safe and proud of him, but he has nothing to be proud of in me. I can't even control my own powers."
Rain put an arm around Jasper's shoulders. "If you want, I can tell Ron to go easy for a while, until you feel better about it. Look, tell you what, let's go out one of these days, okay? Just the two of us, doing whatever you want. Shopping, maybe a fair, or even the amusement park. Girls' night out. And why wouldn't he be proud of you? You are one of the strongest people I've ever known. Maybe you don't have complete control of your power, but neither do any of us. Why would you want to be perfect - so overrated. You're an amazing person, Jasper."
Her eyes lit up. "How about I gave you your Christmas present early? Would that cheer you up?" Hugging Jasper tightly, Rain whispered, "And you're welcome. You know I'm always here for you."
