"Jace? What...what are you doing here. And what are you wearing?" My hand moves to my chest where I can feel my heart pounding. "Shh...I didn't want to be recognised."

"Why? What's going on?"

""Is it true?"

"Is what true?"

"Jaxon...he told me." My blood runs cold as it becomes clear why he is here. Any excitement I may have felt quickly dying.
