"Isn't being a little younger a good thing? I can give you emotional support. I won't be like Hartwell and make you angry. I'll make you happy."
• I stared at him, surprised. It seemed like Jace's innocence was all an act. Beneath his good looks, there might be a sly little fox hiding.
• Jace met my gaze, his eyes steady and serious. His voice dropped to a softer tone as he said, "I know you're divorced."
