I gently massaged his arm. "Do you believe in fate?"
He didn't answer, but I sighed softly. "I do. What's happening with Jace and me... it's fate."
I stared off, gathering my thoughts. "You know, my parents are the perfect example.
"They were orphans who worked hard, built a family, and turned their lives around.
"Just when things were finally looking up, they died in that accident. That was their fate."
They never got to enjoy the life they built. Fate didn't give them the chance to live out their days surrounded by the love they'd fought so hard for.
