I felt I was dreaming and thinking and feeling with you. I dreamed what you dreamed, wanted what you wanted--and then I realized that truly I just wanted you.”

    Cassandra Clare
    “Say something in Mandarin,” said Tessa, with a smile.
    Jem said something that sounded like a lot of breathy vowels and
    consonants run together, his voice rising and falling melodically: “Ni
    hen piao liang.”
    “What did you say?” Tessa was curious.
    “I said your hair is coming undone — here,” he said, and reached out
    and tucked an escaping curl back behind her ear. Tessa felt the blood
    spill hot up into her face, and was glad for the dimness of the
    carriage. “You have to be careful with it,” he said, taking his hand
    back, slowly, his fingers lingering against her cheek.”

    “Not you,” Will whispered. “I hurt everyone but you. I never meant to
    hurt you.”
    Jem put his hands up, pressing his palms against his eyes. “Will —”
    “You can’t never forgive me,” Will said in disbelief, hearing the
    panic tinging his own voice. “I’d be —”
    “Alone?” Jem lowered his hand, but he was smiling now, crookedly. “And
    whose fault is that?”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince

    “They’re not hideous,” said Tessa.
    Will blinked at her. “What?”
    “Gideon and Gabriel,” said Tessa. “They’re really quite good-looking, not hideous at all.”
    “I spoke,” said Will, in sepulchral tones, “of the pitch-black inner depths of their souls.”
    Tessa snorted. “And what color do you suppose the inner depths of your soul are, Will Herondale?”
    “Mauve,” said Will.”
    Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince
