“She didn’t ask for promises. She asked for honesty. And for the first time in my life… I didn’t want to give her anything less.” Summary: Jace invites Ivy into his real life—his childhood home, his room, the place he first learned what not to believe in. He doesn’t kiss her. He doesn’t make a move. He just lets her in. And when she touches his face, it’s not a signal—it’s a statement. She’s not here for the mask. She’s here for him. And for once, Jace doesn’t hide from it.
