He handed it to me

“Do you trust me, Jace?” I asked

“Always,” he responded without hesitation

I smiled, then turned my attention to the phone Once I dialed the number I wanted, I leaned into Jace’s side as he put his arm around me When the voice on the other end picked up, I said, “Mav, it’s Caleb Jace and I are okay, but we need some help—”

That was all I got out before Mav interrupted et us

I closed my eyes and smiled

Driving in Ronan’s SUV from the private airport where we’d landed mere minutes earlier in his personal jet

A few things were different, though

Mav and Eli weren’t with us

And the Caleb as pressed against er I’d saved two years earlier

Sure, he was technically still a teen, but he’d acted with more maturity and responsibility than many adults I’d met

Myself included

While I’d been practically paralyzed with grief, Caleb had taken on the task of caring for a newborn with next to no experience As if he hadn’t already had enough on his plate, he’d soed to be there for me, too
