Lorelei watched the familiar buildings around while walking with Jace to God knows where. They were still near the university, where shops and restaurants were lined up next to one another.
"Are we there yet?" she asked the boy as they were getting farther and farther from the university by the minute.
"Almost," Jace replied and then sped up, briskly walking this time.
Lorelei had no choice but to make haste as well. "H-hey! Wait up!"
