“I
have something I need to tell you," he says. I run my fingers along the
tendons in his hands and look back at him. "I might be in love with
you." He smiles a little. "I'm waiting until I'm sure to tell you,
though."
"That's
sensible of you," I say, smiling too. "We should find some paper so
you can make a list or a chart or something."
I
feel his laughter against my side, his nose sliding along my jaw, his lips
pressing my ear.
"Maybe
I'm already sure," he says, "and I just don't want to frighten
you."
I
laugh a little. "Then you should know better."
"Fine,"
he says. "Then I love you.”

"I
see," Clary said. There must have been something in her voice, because he
turned to look at her. Her hand cracked across his face, a slap that rocked him
back on his heels. He put his hands on his cheek, more in surprise than pain.
"What
the hell was that for?"
"The
other ten percent.”
