Work in progress: Chapter undergoing editing 

"We're going to have fun tonight," Jace whispered, his fingers playfully dancing on my skin as he zipped my dress from behind. 

A soft tap on the door alerted us both, pulling me and Jace apart. Ryan poked his head inside; he smiled when he caught my gaze. 

"You look beautiful as always, Amiel," I felt Jace stiffen beside me. 

"Thank you, Ryan; you don't look so bad yourself," I answered, keeping my tone polite. "We're ready."

I chirped, turning to Jace to grab his hand and pull him toward the door of my room. Ryan stepped aside.

"I'll miss pretending to be your partner and seeing you in action," Ryan added. I squeezed Jace's hand and played along with Ryan. 

"Aw, maybe next time, I'll take over the techy stuff while you two are at the center of the action."
