Blackthorn Quote by Cassandra Clare

“Kit had never had any siblings, never had a mother, had only had Johnny. His father. His father who had died, and he didn't think had ever looked the way Ty looked now, as if the possibility of something happening to Livvy was enough to break him inside.” quote by Cassandra Clare
