Clary Quote by Cassandra Clare
““Clary gave him what was probably meant as a withering look, but which came out fairly soppy. Jace returned it just as soppily. Alec wondered what would happen if he made a sacrifice to the dark demon gods of this world in exchange for not being constantly reminded that he was single.””
