Author's note: Being late is kind of getting to be my specialty :(. So sorry! I'll try to make up for it next week!

Scandal
Gideon stared at Sophie from across the training room. Ever since their discussion in the park about his father's…unsavory activities, she had behaved differently toward him. She almost seemed to be pulling away, attempting to put distance between them.
Not that she had ever been forward with him. But she had been friendly, at the very least.
He crossed his arms and frowned. I thought I had established that I have never had anything to do with my father's preferred past times.
Sophie suddenly glanced up from the thin sword in her hand. Her sparkling hazel eyes met his, making him catch his breath. Then she shook her head, as though trying to wake herself from a dream, and turned her attention back to the weapon.
A dream…
Gideon straightened up. That is it! Sophie was pulling away because she did not believe someone like him, a gentleman and a Shadowhunter to boot, would ever have serious intentions toward her, a maid. They would be a scandal, to be sure, but ascensions always were. He strode across the room, determination foremost in his mind.
He would change her mind.
But how?
Smolder
Jem stared at the silvery powder. He knew exactly what it would do to him, which was why he always hesitated before taking it.
It would fill him with the sensation of burning alive. He would develop a fever immediately after taking it. His blood would suddenly seem to become liquid fire in his veins. That fire would fill him with energy, the kind of energy that would send him into a frenzy if he took too much yin fen.
He hated it.
He hated the feeling of something burning him up from the inside out.
But then he met Miss Tessa Gray.
And he came to know an entirely different kind of fire in his veins.
