Isabelle looked mildly alarmed. “Not permanently?” “No,” said Jace. “Just for a few hours. Unless I don’t come back,” he added thoughtfully. “In which case, maybe he does get to keep Alec. Think of it as a lease with an option to buy.”Isabelle looked dubious. “Mom and Dad won’t be pleased if they find out.” “That you freed a possible criminal by trading away your brother to a warlock who looks like a gay Sonic the Hedgehog and dresses like the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?” Simon inquired. “No, probably not.-Cassandra Clare

And you’re not as pretty to look at as Tessa is,” Jem said, closing his eyes as he leaned back against the pillow.”How rude.

Peeta, wake up,” I say in a soft, singsong voice.His eyelids flutter open and then he jumps like we’ve stabbed him. “Aa!”Finnick and I fall back in the sand, laughing our heads off.

89. But-” Maia, still looking at Alec and Magnus, broke off and rasied her eyebrows. Simon turned to see what she was looking at – and stared. Alec had his arms around Magnus and was kissing him full on the mouth. Magnus, who appeared to be in a state of shock, stood frozen. Several groups of people – Shadowhunters and Downworlders alike – were staring and whispering. Glancing to the side, Simon saw the Lightwoods, their eyes widen, gaping at the display.
