You and Jayce...What were you? A couple...? No. It wasn't official. Just...Just a sexual relationship.

Right?

Last night, you woke up in bed, the difference in temperature from Jayce now being gone from your side was significant enough to wake you up.

You looked left and right for Jayce. No where. What the hell? You two sleep together and he just up and leaves in the middle of the night? What a jerk!

You stood outside on your balcony, looking down at the city as the warm orange glow of the sunset shone throughout it. You heard the balcony doors opening, knowing who it was. You sighed quietly, not looking at Jayce.

"I'm sorry for leaving last night..."

He began carefully. You didn't respond, but you saw him stand beside you with his forearms on the railing.

"Viktor's dying...That's-That's why I left last night."

He said quietly, a hint of vulnerability in his tone. It surprised you.
