Jace stopped playing, his fingers hovering above the keys as he turned to stare at Alec. So very close and warm and not his. Whatever he had been expecting this wasn't it. Alec was so accepting and calm. Maybe he expected anger, disbelief. Something. After the way Alec had felt about him...but then that was the reason wasn't it?

Alec didn't feel the same way anymore. Alec had found true love with someone who was far more deserving.

Forcing his attention back to the piano he had to rub his palms against his jeans before attempting to compliment Alec's playing with his own.

"Have you talked to Magnus about kids?"

He could picture it in his head. Alec and Magnus with kids.
