Paige’s POV The phone rang while I was standing beside the workbench at Lawson Customs. I had been pretending to work for nearly an hour, although I had barely touched the motorcycle in front of me. Every few minutes, I looked toward the road. Every few minutes, I checked my phone. Every few minutes, I told myself that Jace would call when he could. Then his name appeared on the screen. My hands started shaking before I even answered. “Jace?” I answered and his voice came through quietly. “It’s over.” He said as I closed my eyes and for several seconds, I couldn’t speak. “It’s really over?” I asked. “Yes.” He said and my knees almost gave way as I gripped the workbench. “Victor?” I asked. “Arrested.” He said as I covered my mouth. “And you?” I asked. “I’m coming home.” He said.
