Jace shrugged. "No," he said. "Not rebellious. I just don't like the guy because of what he said about you is all." His blood still boiled over that comment.

He gave her a half smile. "I'm pretty sure you'll always be on my list of people I care about. Right now, I think you and my sister are the only two on the list." He sighed then shook his head. "Nah, it'll be fine."

Jace glanced at his watch. He'd only just thought to put it on this morning, and he was glad he did. It was getting late, or rather early. He glanced sideways at Kayla as they continued walking up to the castle. "How about we watch the sunrise after we're done with our detention? I'll bring a basket that I can probably nick from the kitchens and we'll have a moonlit picnic until the sun comes up. What do you say to that, querida?"
