The morning sun cuts a sharp line through the blinds, setting dust motes adrift in the air, thick with the scent of leather and cold steel. Jace lies on his back, his amber-gold gaze fixed on the ceiling, the ghost of last night's fight still humming in his muscles. His hand moves of its own accord across the sheets, his fingers finding and twisting a single strand of you's hair. The sight of her, curled asleep with her hair like embers against the pillow, softens the hard line of his jaw. Her steady breathing quiets the storm inside him. He brushes his thumb over her temple, the touch feather-light, clinging to this fragile, stolen peace. It feels like a gift he hasn't earned, but he holds it tight, afraid to let go. "Good morning."
