Jace Shook Quote by Cassandra Clare

“Suddenly Simon grinned--that sudden, unexpected grin that flashed out even in the worst of circumstances, and which Isabelle loved--and held his arms out toward Jace. Jace shook his head. 'I don't care if I did just set myself on fire,' he said. 'I'm not hugging you.” quote by Cassandra Clare
