He is the sun, and she is the star of the dawn.
He is a rich bachelor and she is but a maid.
He is Prince Charming and she is Snow White.
He's looking for an angel and she's looking for a god.
He's Jace Harronate and she's Mary Morningstar ...
J...
Mary: Fiddlesticks! Whatever. Then let's talk about George. What do you want me to do about him?
Jace: Nothing.
Mary: But...
Jace: He did what he wanted.
Mary: But it's my fault. If it hadn't been for me...
Jace: Angel, you were just the excuse. George was determined to do this. Don't feel guilty.
Mary: I'd like to do something for him. To make him happy.
Jace: Now that I think about it, there's something.
Mary: What's it?
Jace: A grandchild. He'll be so happy.
Mary: You're joking now, right?
Jace: No, I'm completely serious. He has told me many times.
Mary: Oh!
Her thoughts are interrupted when Jace comes out of the bathroom.
Jace: You're awake, my soul? Good morning.
She looks at him and smiles.

Mary: Good morning, Prince.
Jace walks over and sits down next to her on the bed.
Jace: I still can't believe you're here, responding to my good morning.
Mary sneaks into his arms.
Mary: How did you do that?
Jace: What?
Mary: To stay strong. To keep hoping. To not go crazy.
Jace: It wasn't easy. There were times when I was about to jump out the window.
Mary: Then what did you do?
Jace: I touched your heart and felt its beat and remembered your words. "Wherever I am, wherever I go, I'll always return to you, even if I have to walk the fire path of Hades". So, I was just waiting for you to come back.
Mary: I'm sorry it took so long.
Jace: That's all right. You finally came and that's good enough for me. But no more talking now, Angel. The doctor said you need to walk, so get up and move your sexy ass.
