Cassandra Clare: "Anehnya, apa yang paling tajam menusuk hati dan piki...

"Anehnya, apa yang paling tajam menusuk hati dan pikirannya bukanlah ingatan pada bibirnya di bawahnya di pesta dansa, tetapi cara dia bersandar di lehernya, seolah dia benar-benar memercayainya. Dia akan memberikan semua yang dia miliki di dunia dan semua yang dia miliki, hanya untuk berbaring di sampingnya di tempat tidur rumah sakit yang sempit dan memeluknya saat dia tidur. Menarik diri darinya seperti menarik kulitnya sendiri, tetapi dia harus melakukannya."

Strangely, what pierced his heart and mind most sharply was not the memory of her lips under his at the ball, but the way she had leaned into his neck, as if she trusted him utterly. He would have given everything he had in the world and everything he would ever have, just to lie beside her in the narrow infirmary bed and hold her while she slept. Pulling away from her had been like pulling his own skin off, but he'd had to do it.
