Chapter 171

• Avalynn drove through the city, her mind buzzing with excitement. She couldn't wait to see Jace. After everything that happened in the past weeks, the dinner date was just what she needed to cool off. Work had been stressful, and personal matters even more so. Jace had been her rock through it all.
• Her thoughts drifted to how he might react to her surprise visit to his office. She glanced at her phone, wanting to text him but then realized it was dead. She cursed under her breath, remembering she forgot to charge it before leaving the house. What if Jace tried to call her?
• The city lights blurred past her as she drove, deep in thought. She didn’t notice the black SUV trailing behind her. Her mind was too occupied with thoughts of Jace and their upcoming dinner. She smiled to herself, thinking about his smile when he'd see her walk into his office.
