“Clary smiled at him with a warmth she didn’t feel.
“Sebastian says I can come with you.”
Jace raised his eyebrows.
“Matching haircuts for everyone?”
“I hope not,” said Sebastian. “I look terrible with curls.”

“How does it taste?” Carter wondered.
Zia smiled. “Stick out your tongue.”

Will touched the dried blood on his wrists, and smiled. "They don't expect it.”

“He glanced over at me, a smile twisting his lips. "Hey, no advice, Ghost Girl. Guardians should be seen and not heard."
I flipped him off for the "Ghost Girl" comment but he didn't notice because Lissa was talking to him again.”

"That's more like it," Nico said. "Let's turn this tide!”

“His smile was like lightning in the darkness, blinding and beautiful and mysterious, and I wanted him so badly it was physically painful.”

“You're still a part of everything I do, you're on my heart just like a tattoo,
Just like a tattoo, I'll always have you.”
