"Sir, we're kinda running out of time," the flight attendant said.
| sighed. | knew even private jets had rules-there was no way | could make a call now without messing up the
whole schedule.
"Forget it," | muttered, leaning back in my seat.
"One minute," Jace said suddenly.
He was talking to the flight attendant. Then, to my total shock, he handedhis phone.
Wait, what? Jace was actually lettingmake the call? | stared at him, confused. He had every reason to say no,
both as my ex and... well, just because he was Jace Johnston.
He didn't bother explaining himself. Instead, he turned toward the window, staring out into the night like we
weren't in the middle of something weird.
| hesitated but then handed the phone back to the flight attendant. "Just take off."
Jace looked over at me, clearly surprised. The flight attendant paused, too, like she wasn't sure who was really
calling the shots here. After a beat, Jace sighed, his voice all cool and distant. "Take off."
The flight attendant relayed the command through her radio. With that, the plane started to move.
Just then, Jace's phone rang. We both glanced at it. | didn't even need to check the screen to know it was
Hayden. He probably just got out of the shower, noticed | was gone, and hunted down Jace to figure out what the
heck was going on. Too late, though. The plane was already in motion,

As the plane climbed higher, the flight attendant cby with a blanket and asked if | wanted anything to drink.
"I'm good, thanks," | said, my voice softer now.
Out of the corner of my eye, | could feel Jace looking atagain, but I ignored him, turning to stare out the
window. It was so dark outside, like the kind of night that could swallow you whole. We didn't say a word to each
other the entire flight. Not one.
| didn't even ask him what caused Matthew to collapse so suddenly. Not yet, anyway.
When we finally landed, we rushed to the hospital. Wayne, and Lindey were already outside the emergency room
waiting. The second Lindey saw me, she burst into tears, totally losing it.
Lindey was always so upbeat, so seeing her like this hit hard. It made it obvious how serious Matthew's condition
really was.
Rea, if something happens to Matthew, what am | going to do?" Lindey sobbed, clinging tolike | was her only
lifeline.

| knew exactly how she felt. It was the sterror | felt when | found out about my parents' accident. That
overwhelming, heart-crushing fear of losing someone you love and not knowing how to keep going without them.
"He's going to be okay," | whispered, trying to sound more confident than | felt. "Matthew's strong. He'll pull
through."
But she just kept crying, and my heart twisted tighter with every sob.
She used to joke all the tabout how tired she was of him, like they were way past the honeymoon phase. But

Once Lindey finally calmed down a bit, | asked the question that had been nagging atsince the plane ride.
"What happened? Why did his condition get so bad so fast?"
| knew his lung cancer was terminal, but this seemed... sudden.
