“He doesn’t ask for my attention. He doesn’t even know I’m looking. But I see him now—and for the first time, it doesn’t hurt. It matters.”
Summary:
Ivy begins to notice Jace in quiet, unexpected ways. He’s no longer chasing or performing—he’s simply present. And that changes everything. Because for the first time, she can observe him without pain or longing. She sees the small ways he’s different. Gentler. Calmer. More aware of the space around him. And without meaning to, Ivy’s heart starts to ask a dangerous question: What if he’s finally becoming the version of himself she always hoped for?
