I stared at Jace's face-so familiar, so tangled up in my past. How was I supposed to see him as a stranger?

But he needed to drop the idea. Forcing a faint smile, I said, "I already do."

His hand trembled against mine before I pulled away, stood up, and walked out.

Later, I skimmed the file he'd sent me. It matched what Cole told me the day before, with extra details about Xander's family. Clearly, Jace wanted me to know one thing: Xander wasn't Hayden. When I finished reading, I laughed.

Around noon, I called Cole back. Maybe he was salty I'd ignored him last night because he didn't pick up.

Whatever. I didn't bother calling again.

That evening, I headed to DracoLux. This time, I went straight to the lobby manager. "I'm here to see Cole. Tell him Ms. Kay is looking for him."
