I’d do anything for you, Tessa. I know you don’t realize that now, but you will.

no one has ever actually referred to me as ‘the master’, or ‘the magister’, either. More’s the pity…

Moments. All gathering towards this one.

Being Jem, Tessa reflected, must be a great deal like being the owner of a thouroughbred dog that liked to bite your guests. You had to have a hand on his collar constantly.

Correcting me again, I see.” Will turned and strode the other way, toward the shadowy corridor Tessa had always feared. Swallowing hard, she followed him.

We make patterns, we share moments.

I am catastrophically in love with you.

It was Will who broke the silence. “Very well. You have me alone in the corrider-“”Yes, yes,” said Tessa impatiently,”and thousands of women all over England would pay handsomely for the privilege of such an...

The second one.

He banged on the side of the carriage. “Thomas! We must away at once to the nearest brothel. I seek scandal and low companionship.

Dear God, woman,”said Will. “Are there any questions you don’t want to know the answer to?

She had taken him for granted, she thought with surprise and shame, watching the flickering candlelight. She had assumed his kindness was so natural and so innate, she had never asked herself whether it cost...

Tessa: I won’t know if I like it until I try it, will I?”Will: “I’ve never swum naked in the Thames, but I know I wouldn’t like it.””But think how entertaining for sightseers,” said Tessa,...

They already think it, so what’s the difference, really?

Especially the ones in Hyde Park.

And perhaps for others that is so. But you and Will—you are not like two ordinary people, two people who might have been jealous of each other, or who would have imagined my love for...

Her eyes met his, but she looked quickly away; entangling gazes with Will was confusing at best, dizzying at worst.

I am dramatic,” said Will. “If i had not been a Shadowhunter, i would have had a future on the stage.

I know how you are with your words, and, Will- I love all of them. Every word you say. The silly ones, the mad ones, the beautiful ones, and the ones that are only for...

You see it, don’t you, James? Without Tessa there is nothing for me–no joy, no light, no life. If you loved me, you would let me have her. You can’t love her as I do....

Charlotte said that if I chose, I could cease to be a Gray and take the name my mother should have had before she was married. I could be a Starkweather. I could have a...

Will-,” Tessa began but it was too late, Church made a yowling noise at being woken, and lashed out with his claws. Will began to swear. Tessa left, unable to hide the slightest of smiles...

She hated that will had this effect on her. Hated it. She knew better. She knew what he thought of her. That she was worth nothing. And still a look from him could make her...

But you love Will, too.”Tessa froze. She had known that Magnus knew of Will’s affection for her, but the idea that what she felt for him in return was written across her face was too...

I believe everything you say,” Tessa said with a smile, her hands creeping down from his waist to his weapons belt. Her fingers closed on the hilt of a dagger, and she yanked it from...

‘Twas on an evening fair I went to take the air,I heard a maid making her moan;Said, ‘Saw ye my father? Or saw ye my mother? Or saw ye my brother John?Or saw ye the...

I am not going to live, and I can choose to be as much for her as I can be, to burn as brightly for her as I wish, and for a shorter time, than...

I can’t – I’ll chop off my own foot!” “If you’re going to chop off anyone’s foot, chop off Benedict’s,” Will muttered.

No one manages Will.

I love you. I love you. I send this message through my fingers and into his, up his arm and into his heart. Hear me. I love you. And I’m sorry to leave you.
