CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO

Her eyes narrowed slightly as she looked past me.

“Oh,” she said. “You two fought again.”
“We didn’t fight.”
“That answer means yes.”
I opened my mouth to argue.
Didn’t.
Because Mason was across the rooftop again.
Talking to Jace now.
Drink in his hand.
Expression controlled like always.
But not relaxed.
