Tessa's Thoughts:

Will is insufferable. Most definitely so.

Scratch that. He's a bumbling idiot. But he's my bumbling idiot.

No! I can't think of Will like that. Shoot, Tessa. Think of Jem!

Jem is so sweet.

Jem kissed you. Yes that's right. But so did Will...

Shut up, little devil. I'm having a hard enough time already.

Why would Will lie to protect me? He must really care. *swoon*

No! Devil!

Oh no, Tessa. What have you done? You're playing two boys like a fiddle. That's not a proper hing a lady would do!

Will. Jem. Will. Jem.

Library kiss 1... or library kiss(es) 2?

Silvery hair... or dark hair?

Good... or mysterious?

Jem... or Will?

Tessa. Stop. Jem claimed you first. You do like Jem. Jem is so sweet.

But Will is darkness, comforting darkness. You know you're drawn to him somehow!

But Jem is perfect and kind and a Shadowhunter. Then again, so is Will.

Jem's wonderful.

But he's not Will...
