Chapter 287 Holding Her

• Jace POV
• She watches me, her eyes darting over my face like she’s searching for something, some kind of trick, some hidden condition. But there isn’t one. I meant every word.
• Her fingers twitch against the sheets, her knee bouncing like she can’t sit still. The withdrawals are still in her system, pulling her in different directions, and I can see her mind working overtime. She’s fighting herself, fighting me, fighting the reality she’s stuck in right now.
