“You don’t love people for what they can give you. You don’t love them because of what they do for you or how good you make them look. Love is blind, love does not boast, love is not vain.”

“And now I’m looking at you,” he said, “and you’re asking me if I still want you, as if I could stop loving you. As if I would want to give up the thing that makes me stronger than anything else ever has. I never dared give much of myself to anyone before – bits of myself to the Lightwoods, to Isabelle and Alec, but it took years to do it – but, Clary, since the first time I saw you, I have belonged to you completely. I still do. If you want me.”

"Nothing about you could disgust me," he whispered against my neck.”

Crane, you're brilliant! Why haven't we do this before? Thanks for the add! I can't wait to see you in July. I'll be the one holding your book. :D

One, I want to thank you for accepting my friendship request. I have enjoyed reading all of your books. Second, I am actually in the middle of Uprising and had to put it down for a while. It has me on such an emotional rollercoaster that I had to take a breath. I mean, Merrick and then Cain, to be in Sherry's shoes. I would have no idea in which direction I would go!!But I have always gone for the underdog, so I would be the one sitting next to Ryan..HAHAHA.Great writing and cannot wait for Reverance.
