Jace gave a small smile. "No." He defended himself at her skeptical look. "Honestly! Like I've been waiting for you. You?" He expected the same answer from her, but Clary looked away.

"Fish!" Clary guessed.

"Eel?" Jocelyn asked.

"Worm," Simon suggested.

"Beached whale."

With each suggestion, Jace shook his head, impatience growing.

Does anyone else think this would have been hilarious ended after the first paragraph? Don't freak out, Morgan, I still think it's funny.
