“She used to look back. Every time. Even when she shouldn’t. But now she doesn’t. She didn’t even flinch. And maybe that’s how I know I finally lost her… not in a scream, not in a goodbye. Just silence.” Summary: Jace watches Ivy through the glass, standing frozen in the hallway, hoping—desperately—for her to turn. Just one look. One second. A sign she still cares. But she doesn’t give it to him. She sits steady, peaceful, facing someone else. And the weight of her stillness is heavier than any words she could have thrown. For the first time, Jace realizes the distance between them isn’t just emotional. It’s final. She’s done chasing.
