Happy Mundane Monday!!!
"Goodnight, Clary," he said.
His hands lay flat on either side of him, his arms at his sides. He seemed barely to be breathing; she wasn't sure she was breathing herself. She slid her own hand across the bedsheet, just far enough that their fingers touched- so lightly that she would probably hardly have been aware of it had she been touching anyone but Jace; as it was, the nerve endings in her fingertips prickled softly, as if she were holding them over a low flame. She felt him tense beside her and then relax. He had shut his eyes, and his lashes cast fine shadows against the curve of his cheekbones. His mouth curled into a smile as if he sensed her watching him, and she wondered how he would look in the morning, with his hair messed and sleep circles under his eyes. Despite everything, the thought gave her a jolt of happiness.
She laced her fingers through his. "Good night," she whispered. With their hands clasped like children in a fairy tale, she fell asleep beside him in the dark.

ReplyDeleteI love that part in CoG. It just sums up why I love Jace and Clary so much and everything that is right in the world.
ReplyDeleteI love this part in the book!!
ReplyDeleteThis whole scene - Jace's completely honest confession of how he feels about Clary, and the innocent sweetness of just falling asleep next to each other - is probably my favourite in the whole book. Well, it's the scene I've read the most!
