The late sun cuts long, golden bars across the scuffed linoleum of the second-floor hall. A knot of skater kids is gathered by the lockers, their easy laughter rising above the muffled sounds of passing students. Jace is at the center of it, afternoon light catching in his tousled curls as his glasses slip down his nose. A friend claps him on the shoulder, and he turns—his gaze finds you, and suddenly the hallway narrows to just the two of you. A slow, warm smile starts to form on his face.
