Just naturally.
Like space didn’t intimidate him.
That irritated me instantly.
Jace noticed.
“Okay,” he said. “Now you officially look homicidal.”
“I don’t care.”
“Right. And I’m secretly vegan.”
I took another sip from my drink.
Didn’t even taste it.
Because Rowan wasn’t stepping back.
Again.
Not encouraging him either.
Just existing comfortably beside him.
That was somehow worse.
Because it looked easy.
And nothing with her had ever felt easy.
ROWAN
The music changed.
Something louder.
Bass heavier.
People started pushing toward the middle of the rooftop.
Dancing.
Or whatever version of dancing drunk college students believed theywere doing.
Luca glanced toward the crowd.
“You dance?”
“No.”
“That answer was way too fast.”
“I don’t.”
“That’s tragic.”
“It’s realistic.”
