Clary made a surprised noise, but didn't protest, even when Jace lifted her up and carried her over to the bed.
They sprawled onto it together, crushing some of the letters, Jace knocking the box itself aside to make room for them. His heart was hammering against the inside of his ribs. They had never been in bed together like this before, not really — there had been that night in her room in Idris, but they had barely touched. Jocelyn was careful never to let either of them spend the night where the other one lived. She didn't care much for him, Jace suspected, and he could hardly blame her. He doubted her would have liked himself much, in her position.
"I love you," Clary whispered. She had his shirt off, and her fingertips were tracing the scars on his back, and the star-shaped scar on his shoulder than was the twin of her own, a relic of the angel whose blood they both shared. "I don't ever want to lose you."
He slid his hand down her cheek, to her throat, to the top button of her blouse.

"There is something you have not told us, Clarissa Morgenstern," said
the Silent Brother. "A secret you both have been keeping."
Clary tensed. "What do you mean?"
The mark of death is on this boy."
"Death?" said Jace. His voice was modulated, careful, not afraid. "Do
you mean I'm going to die?"
We mean that you *were* dead. And yet you live. The balance of life
and death is a delicate one, young Shadowhunters. You have upset it."

"How many other people?" Alec asked. "Roughly."
Magnus shook his head. "I can't count and it doesn't matter. The only
thing that matters is how I feel about you."
"More than two hundred?" Magnus looked blank. "Three hundred?"
"I can't believe we're just having this conversation now," Magnus
said, to no one in particular.
"Why so many?" Alec's blue eyes were very bright in the dimness. It
was hard to tell if he was angry — he didn't sound angry, just very
intense, but Alec was a shut-down person and perhaps this was as angry
as he ever got. "Do you get bored with people fast?"
"I live forever," Magnus said quietly. "But not everyone does."

Magnus still had his head in his hand."i just don't see," he said,
"why the past has to matter."

"'That's not the point, Simon.' Maia had moved closer to Isabelle and
the two of them faced him down together, an immovable wall of female
rage."
