““When he let go of Clary, he turned and hugged Jace. Clary watched, tears running down her face. “Oof,” said Jace, sounding extremely startled, but he patted Simon quickly on the back.

He decided it would probably be good for Jace, and ruffled his hair a little for emphasis before stepping away.””
