Clockwork Prince (The Infernal Devices, #2)

by Cassandra Clare

“I miss you so much,” Tessa said. “I have no family now. . . .” Her aunt leaned forward to kiss her on the forehead. “You have more family than you think.”

but the way she had leaned into him tonight, her head on his shoulder, her breath soft against his neck, as if she trusted him utterly.

“They’re not like him!” “How different could they be?”

Are you like your brother tessa?

And though I know I will always come second for you—” “Second for me?” Charlotte’s voice shot up to an incredulous squeak. “You come second for me?”

Aww they both think that

“You are not plain,” Henry said, his face still blazing. “You are beautiful. And I didn’t ask your father if I could marry you out of duty; I did it because I loved you. I’ve always loved you. I’m your husband.”

“Before you’d give up what?” “Before I’d give you up,” she said. “Don’t you know that?”

Bruh bruh why yall making me teary eyed

“I wouldn’t want to live here without you and Henry. What d’you think I stay for? The ambiance?”

He flushed, the color dark against his pale skin. “I mean,” he said, “Tessa Gray, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?” Tessa sat bolt upright. “Jem!”

Jfc

“And you think we are?” Tessa asked, shock making her voice small. “At one, that is?”

Uughhh the way Will is looking fOr her rn

And why should he not hope? She had given him every reason to believe she loved him. Her friendship, her trust, her confidence, her gratitude, even her passion.

“Demon pox,” said Sophie. “Mr. Lightwood’s got it, has had for years, and it’ll kill him in a right couple of months if he doesn’t get the cure. And Mortmain said he can get it for him.”

WILL JUST SHIT HIS PATALONES I JUS KNOW IT

“Will!” Charlotte shouted over the noise. “Have you LOST YOUR MIND? CEASE THAT INFERNAL RACKET! Jem—”

Hahahahhaha

“That is demon pox. You had evidence that demon pox existed and you didn’t mention it to me! Et tu, Brute!”

Lmaoooo

“Oh, Sophie. She’s disappointed in Will all the time!”

Thats not gonna make her feel better lmao

“I did it because I love you!” he half-shouted, and then, as if registering the shocked look on her face, he said in a more subdued voice, “I love you, Tessa, and I have loved you, almost since the moment I met you.”

My heart is breaking in half

The words echoed in her head. Held everyone at arm’s length—pushed everyone away—She

That I could gain your trust back—build something with you, slowly.”

trying to commit the details to memory, to paint them on the backs of her eyelids that she might see it when she shut her eyes to sleep.

You and I, Tess, we’re alike. We live and breathe words. It was books that kept me from taking my own life after I thought I could never love anyone, never be loved by anyone again.

:'(

And here he was standing in front of her, telling her he loved the words of her heart, the shape of her soul.

“Don’t say that.” His voice was half a whisper. “I love you, Tessa. I love you.”

But I am begging you for that chance. I will do anything. Anything.”

My heart wtf Clare

Will had gone shockingly white. He said, “Jem. My Jem?”

The BETRAYAL

The jade pendant around her throat warmed, almost burning her skin.

William will always come first in Tessa’s heart I don’t care what anyone says. Does she love jem? Yes but Will is who she wants. I saw people say with Will it was just lust and it’s so much deeper than that, like just bc there’s passion there? It’s lust? Nah

When Sophie came dashing in, having heard her scream, she found Tessa on her knees by the fire, her burned hand pressed to her chest, sobbing as if her heart would break.

BRO THIS IS SO FUCJING SAD I HATE THIS SERIES

“I wholeheartedly support Charlotte Branwell in her leadership of the Institute, and renounce my claim on a position there.”

Henry made a whooping noise and threw his hat into the air. The room was filled with chatter and confusion.

he put his face against her hair, her hair full of flowers the color of Will’s eyes,

She cant stop thinkin of Will

I love Jem. I am marrying Jem. Tessa had repeated it to herself all the way down the hall, but it made little difference; her heart flipped sickeningly in her chest when she saw Will.

Look at how she has to try to convince herself

despite seeming pale and ill, he still looked ridiculously handsome in it.

Poor Will :(

a Will that perhaps only Jem had ever really known. And now she would never know him. The thought pierced her with a sadness as if she were remembering someone who had died.

Little Buford—” “I am not naming our child Buford. I don’t care if it was your father’s name, or if it is a traditional Yorkshire name—,”

HAahahahahha

She heard Will draw a sudden, violent breath.

Omg his sister?!
