Jax watched the shift happen in real time.

Jax watched her take the phone like it was nothing—and then watched her look at him.

Jax shook his head, smiling so hard his jaw actually started to ache.

“Whimsically creative,” he repeated, testing the words like they might bite. “Yeah. That checks out. That’s exactly the kind...

Jax watched her laugh like it was a physical thing.
