Jace lifted a brow. Seeing the look on her face, he turned to her. "Carissa?" he repeated."The one who is supposedly the perfect match for you," Katrina said.Jace chuckled lightly. "She's just a business partner," he said."She's beautiful," Katrina pointed out.Jealousy was evident in her eyes, and it made Jace chuckle again. He moved closer to her and kissed her on the lips."You think she's beautiful?" he asked.Katrina pouted. "You don't?" She lifted her brows. "Everyone thinks otherwise," she said.Jace chuckled again, watching her jealousy with amusement. "Really?

Katrina stood at the edge of the campus lawn, holding a stack of books against her chest as she stared at the large building ahead. Students moved around her, laughing, chatting, and rushing to classes. It was her final semester, and in just a few more weeks, she would be done. A slow smile touched her lips as her phone buzzed with a message from Holly. Holly: He’s here. And he’s loud. The text read. Katrina laughed and immediately called her. The call connected to the sound of a baby crying and Ray panicking. “Why is he crying again?” Ray’s voice came through. “He was just fed!” “Because you’re talking too loudly,” Holly snapped weakly. “I’m whispering!” Ray argued. “You don’t whisper.
