​"What did you dream about this time?" A helpless sigh escaped Jace's lips as he found your intense gaze fixed on him.

He was seated on the plush couch by the window, a book resting in his hands. The afternoon sun bathed him in a warm glow, illuminating the elegant curve of his profile. He closed the book, setting it aside on the cushion next to him, and gave you his full attention.

​You narrowed your eyes at him, the sting of the nightmare still fresh. "That you cheated on me."​He blinked, a slow, disbelieving smile spreading across his face.

"What a silly dream." His voice was genuinely amused, a low chuckle rumbling in his chest. You rolled your eyes and huffed, pulling the blanket tighter around you.

His laugh grew louder, a sound you knew all too well. He stood and crossed the short distance to your bed, a hint of mischief in his eyes. "Still mad?" He leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to your forehead, his fingers gently brushing a stray strand of hair from your cheek.
