JASON COULDNโT BELIEVE when one of his runners sheepishlyย walked into the room, barely looking into the leaderโs eyes as they dropped off a fucking letter for him, scurrying away before jace could even ask who it was from. blue eyes go over the words again and again, not even needing to read the signatureย at the end of the page to know who it was from. it was a cute gesture on the first paragraph, even a sentimental one. as jason keeps reading, however, as the words seep into his brain and the meaning of them-------- he cries. cries like he hasnโt since balthazar passed away, the words smudging on the paper as he thinks about how he had failed his friend. how many double dates, how many one on one conversations, how many night she would come over in tears; the signs had been in front of him all along, but jason was too blind ( too selfish ) to see them.ย
it takes the man a minute to recompose himself, wiping his eyes on his sleeves and making sure his face is as impassive as ever before he calls out for the soldier outside of his quarters.ย โ greg, i need you to find ms. ambrose for me. โ he swallowed thickly, chin up in the air even if his entire body is aflame with physical and emotional pain.ย โ sheโs a lawyer for--- the petrans. just... get her in here as fucking fast as you can. โ the soldier doesnโt immediately move, staring at the blond confused and hesitant.ย โ go ! โ once heโs finally alone, jason falls back against his pillow with a painful groan, self-hatred and guilt tightening on his chest.
