The Thin Redline Between Love and Hate Chapter 55
Jace:We were running out of time. That thought sat in the pit of my stomach the entire drive away from Sally's. Reve didn't just happen to find me. He hunted me down in broad daylight, in the middle of Riverside. That wasn't some jealous boyfriend throwing a fit. That was desperation. And desperate people… Did desperate things. My hands tightened around the steering wheel. Calla. I grabbed my phone and hit her contact. The ringtone echoed through the car. Once. Twice. Three times. Come on… Pick up. Voicemail. "Damn it." I hung up and called again. Straight to voicemail.My stomach sank. She never ignored me. Not after everything. Not now. Maybe she was in the shower. Maybe her phone was dead. Maybe— No. I wasn't letting my brain go there. I shoved the car into gear. If she had left her apartment, she'd be headed to one place, The garage. There was one road she'd almost certainly take, the main stretch along the water from Eastside into Riverside. Which meant… I had a chance. A hot-

Calla:The ride up the elevator felt like it lasted five minutes, or five hours, couldn't decide.My fingers drummed against my thigh, as I watched the morning sun dance across the water through the glass windows. Everything looked beautiful. Everything felt terrifying. Every story gave me another minute to think. About Jace. About the investigation. About last night. About the way he'd looked at me when he'd said we'd figure it out together. My stomach fluttered. Then immediately knotted itself. There was no pretending anymore. Not after last night. Not after the way I'd fallen asleep wrapped up in his arms. Not after waking up there. I smiled despite myself. Then, ding, I was at my apartment floor at the complex. Reality waited behind the front door.I walked to the door and unlocked it. My body felt heavy. My hair was still damp from the storm. Jace's flannel flowed over my frame. I'd forgotten to give it back. I hugged myself for a second, taking in the scent, then smiled. "I'll

Jace:The morning sun sat low over Calusa Cove as I watched Bubblegum disappear around the corner. I stood there a second longer than I probably should have. Smiling like an idiot. She'd smiled back. Not forced. Not polite. Real. I laughed under my breath. "Well..." I rubbed the back of my neck. "That definitely happened." I slipped my car back into gear and started toward Riverside. The roads were still quiet after last night's storm. Palm fronds littered the shoulders. Puddles reflected the pale orange sunrise. Everything looked freshly washed. My head… Not so much.I had spent the night with Calla. Calla. Camden's little sister. The girl I'd watched grow from a scrappy twelve-year-old who refused to wear a helmet on her bicycle into the strongest woman I'd ever met. Jesus. My stomach flipped just thinking about it. It was incredible. Terrifying. Wonderful. Complicated. Every emotion I could name had taken turns kicking me in the ribs. I'd never ventured into waters like this before
The Thin Redline Between Love and Hate Chapter 52
Calla: The first thing I noticed was the warmth. Not the heat of the Florida sun creeping through the cracks in the old boathouse, not the blanket tangled around us. Him. I blinked slowly, still caught somewhere between dreaming and waking. My cheek rested against Jace's chest. His heartbeat was steady beneath my ear. Strong. Calm. Outside, the storm had finally passed. Rainwater dripped from the old tin roof in slow, rhythmic taps, and the first streaks of dawn painted the sky beyond the dusty warehouse windows in soft shades of pink and orange.For a moment… I forgot where we were. Then everything came rushing back. The beach festival. Running through the rain. The police. The abandoned boathouse. The conversation. The kisses. The night we'd shared together. I pulled the blanket a little higher around myself, suddenly aware of just how close we were, and that we both were completely naked. Jace stirred beneath me. A sleepy smile spread across his face before his eyes even opened.
The Thin Redline Between Love and Hate Chapter 51
Jace:Outside, the storm raged. Rain hammered the rusted roof of the abandoned boathouse. Thunder rolled across the bay, shaking the old beams overhead. Inside… Wrapped beneath one faded beach blanket in the back seat of my Camaro… The rest of the world disappeared. For one night… It was just us.Calla slept against my chest, her breathing slow and even. Every so often another clap of thunder would rumble overhead, and she'd shift a little closer without even realizing it. I smiled. I always hated storms. Not because I was scared of them. I just hated feeling out of control. Funny. I'd spent the last few weeks throwing myself headfirst into one.My hand drifted through the ends of her damp hair. Slowly. Carefully. Like if I moved too fast, she'd disappear. I'd imagined this moment more times than I'd ever admit. Not this exact one. Not hiding from the police in an abandoned boatyard while a storm tried to wash half of Calusa Cove into the Gulf.Just… Being close to her. After everythi
The Thin Redline Between Love and Hate Chapter 50
Calla:The storm swallowed us whole as we disappeared into the abandoned boatyard. My pulse was still pounding in my ears. Rain hammered the windshield so hard I could barely make out the rusted warehouses ahead. The red and blue lights behind us grew brighter. Closer. Closer. "Oh my God..." I whispered. Then… They kept going. Straight past the entrance. The sirens faded into the distance. Neither of us spoke. Jace glanced in the mirror. Waited another few seconds. Then let out one long breath. "They missed it."I blinked. "They... missed it?""They don't know this place."Another flash of lightning illuminated the old boatyard. Rows of abandoned fishing boats sat forgotten beneath years of moss and rust. The buildings looked like ghosts from another lifetime. Jace eased the Camaro farther inside. He stopped in front of one of the largest warehouses. The building looked like it had survived three hurricanes out of pure stubbornness. He climbed out into the rain. "What are you doing?
