Since I couldn't shove Jace off, there wasn't much else I could do. He really was something-so full of himself.

But if he wanted to live in his little fantasy, fine. Let him. The deeper he clung to his delusions, the harder he'd fall. Maybe that was karma catching up with him. Or maybe it was my parents, watching over me, making sure he stayed stuck in the past while I kept moving forward. "Gavin will bring you a phone soon.
