He didn't seem to notice me, heading over to a nearby heat on his own.
"I'm from Amour Eternel Assurance, agent number A8338. Four years ago, you and Mr. Johnston purchased a love insurance policy from us. The policy term has expired, and we need to verify sinformation with you." A chill ran down my spine. I glanced instinctively at Hayden.

"Ms. Kay, are you still there?" the agent pressed, probably wondering why I'd gone silent.
I swallowed hard. "Yes, I'm here. We..." "We've already broken up.' I was just about to say it when Jace, who hadn't even glanced atthis whole time, suddenly looked up and locked eyes with me.

"Ms. Kay?" the agent repeated.

But then he continued, "Ms. Kay, I wish you a lifetof love and happiness in your marriage. You and your spouse might want to consider a marriage insurance policy.

I didn't let him continue, "Can your insurance guarantee love and m marriage will Wat?" Of course, the answer was no. Jace and I were proof of that.
I hung up amidst the awkward silence, and when looked up again, Jace had already ended his call too. it he was still looking at me. Just staring.
