Chapter 24

• Jace
• I got to my car and, unlocking it, opened the door. When two figures approached a cab in the middle of the street, I stilled for a moment. Claire was sending her friend off. I kept my eyes on them. I told her we’d meet often, and here we both were, in the parking lot, together twice in the same day. Our eyes met, and I casually entered my GL. Pretend we didn’t know each other. Fine by me...
• I pushed the gas pedal and sped out of the parking lot, not even glancing at the two women. I was tired of all pressure and vain rules. I needed silence.
