“I didn’t kiss him because I forgave him. I kissed him because I still feel him when he’s not even near me. And I don’t know what to do with that kind of truth.” Summary: Ivy’s trying to breathe again after that kiss— but every breath feels heavier than the last. She didn’t expect Jace to kiss her like that. She didn’t expect herself to let him. Now she’s lying in bed, heart pounding, afraid of the answer that’s slowly blooming in her chest: She wants him again. And not just his kiss. His heart. But trusting that? It’s scarier than losing him all over again.
