Isabelle lightwood Quote by Cassandra Clare
““Simon: I love you Isabelle Lightwood! I love you and I will not go away until you tell me you love me too! Isabelle: Take your clothes and go! Simon: Isabelle! Stop throwing clothes at me! Just because your a Shadowhunter and I'm a vampire doesn't mean we can never happen. Our love is forbidden like the love of a shark and a-a sharkhunter! But that's what makes it special! Isabelle: Oh? Which one of us is the shark, Simon? Which one of us is the shark? Robert Lightwood: What is going on? Why are you yelling outside my house?””
