[ Her temper flares white hot, and not for the first time does she think that Jace has got this all wrong. He's not the monstrous one, she is. It burns inside of her. Because her anger has always been close and tight to the surface of her skin. Jace doesn't see that. He thinks that by being here she's in danger and all she really wants is to tell him that it's the opposite.
Clary, without him, has less reason to be safe.
But she bites it back, because it would be one of those things. A catalyst, a reason for him to escape. Without saying anything she lifts a hand, tucks damp hair behind her ear and watches him quietly. He's so tired. He looks like he's being drained of all the things she loves about him. What did either of them do to deserve this? Why are they the ones who have to suffer. ]
For all anyone knows we could be halfway to England by now, Jace. [ It might have actually been smarter, but she's not sure. Eventually someone will track them down. But she's banking on Alec. ] I just --. [ She sighs, and then moves like she's caught in his orbit. She doesn't come close enough to touch, but it's a near thing. ] I miss you.
