Jax and Ivory have just met in this scene! (Now, he’s a little mean when you first meet him, but remember, there is always a story behind the story!)

            “I didn’t even know my sister, Miss Black. What makes you think I want to take care of her child?”

            Ivory bristled at his dead tone. “Because you’re human and you should at least have some compassion for a helpless child.”

            Something flashed in his eyes, something akin to pain. And then they were the dead sea-green they’d been before. “As a rule, I don’t have compassion. For anyone.”
