His perseverance unnerved me, scrutinizing my every move like a twisted guardian angel. Jace waited patiently for me to join him. Like he knew my defiance would crumble under his intense gaze, which was exactly why I avoided him...until twilight. He hijacked my dreams and proved to be a different kind of nightmare - unhinged, rebellious, and dangerously mouth-watering. "Escape from reality, Gwyneth. Sometimes life can be too painful to live in, even for immortals," Jace whispered in my dream. His heat, fervor, and unrelenting confidence resonated around me when he closed the gap between us. His lips hovered above mine, waiting for me to give into him.
