Cassandra Clare: "Sebenarnya, "kata Clary," kurasa dia tetap...

"Sebenarnya, "kata Clary," kurasa dia tetap di sini karena aku. "Glasir Jace beralih ke miliknya dengan kilatan emas." Karena dirimu? Berharap kencan lagi, ya? "Clary merasa dirinya memerah." Tidak. Dan teman kencan kita tidak panas. Bahkan, itu bahkan bukan kencan. Bagaimanapun, bukan itu intinya. Ketika dia datang ke Aula, dia terus berusaha membuat saya pergi keluar dengannya sehingga kita bisa berbicara. Dia menginginkan sesuatu dariku. Aku hanya tidak tahu apa. "" Atau mungkin dia hanya menginginkanmu, "kata Jace. Melihat ekspresi Clary, dia menambahkan," Tidak seperti itu. Maksudku, mungkin dia ingin membawamu ke Valentine."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Actually," Clary said, "I think he stayed because of me." Jace's glaze flicked up to hers with a flash of gold. "Because of you? Hoping for another hot date, was he?" Clary felt herself flush. "No. And our date wasn't hot. In fact, it wasn't even a date. Anyway, that's not the point. When he came into the Hall, he kept trying to get me to go outside with him so we could talk. He wanted something from me. I just don't know what." "Or maybe he just wanted you," Jace said. Seeing Clary's expression, he added, "Not that way. I mean maybe he wanted to bring you to Valentine.
