My Life Next Door
by Huntley Fitzpatrick
~Meeting Jace~“I’m no princess.”He gives me a considering look. “You say that emphatically. Is this something important I should know about you?”This whole conversation is surreal. The fact that Jase Garret should know, or need to know, anything about me at all is illogical. But instead of telling him that, I find myself confiding, “Well, for example, a second ago I wanted to do bodily harm to someone I’d only just met.”Jase takes a long time to answer, as though weighing his thoughts and his words. “We-ell,” he responds finally. “I imagine a lot of princesses have felt that way…arranged marriages and all that. Who could know who you’d get stuck with? But…is this person you want to injure me? ‘Cause I can take a hint. You can ask me to leave your roof rather than break my kneecaps.”
