Book: City of heavenly fire

Sometimes, the most courageous thing you can do is not fight.

Our soul is woven from the memories.

Why? she whispered. - Why me?
- Because I love you. 'said Sebastian. He felt discomfort. Intense and concentrated, like he was trying to get something what I could not touch. I don't want to hurt you..
- You don't... You've hurt me. You tried...
No matter what I did hurt you, - he said, - you belong to me. I can do whatever I want. But I don't want other people to touch you, had you or hurt you. I want you near me, admired me and saw that I did what you have accomplished. It's love, isn't it?
"No," said Clary with a soft and sad voice. - It is not. She took a step to meet him and her leg bumped into an invisible circle of runes. She couldn't go any further. - If you love someone, you want to love you, too.

How can you be so sure that it's love, if they just started Dating. "Don't you see? - said Valentine. In her more Angelic than all the others combined. It is the greatness. It shines like himself Raziel".

On the other hand, Arondel sounds pretty melodic. Nice, you might say. What do you think about Clary Arendal?
- Oh God, that sounds terrible.
We all make sacrifices in the name of love.

She loved Jace for a long time, loved him so much, and sometimes it seemed to her that she will die because of it, because it was what she needed and could not obtain.
But now it's gone: despair was replaced by a quiet happiness. Now that she felt every moment with him can be compromised by the possibility of disaster, now that she could imagine life with him, which can be both peaceful and funny and normal and relaxed, and kind, she wanted nothing more, only to go down to the farm lake with all her friends and celebrate this day.

She held up a hand and wiggled his fingers. The human body has one hundred trillion cells. And every cell in my body loves you.
Some cells die, but others are born. And each new cell of mine loves you more and more every day
It is a science. When I die, my body will burn and it will turn to dust that mixed with air, will become part of the earth, and then trees, and reach the stars - and then anyone who would enjoy flowers, or inhale their fragrance or to consider the stars will remember you and love, because that's how much I love you. - Clary smiled.

He took a deep breath.
You made me something to think about. - he said, - All day, every day I brought up the belief that I must be perfect. The perfect warrior, the perfect son.
Even when I came to live with Litude, I thought I should be perfect, because otherwise they'll send me away.
I don't think that love came forgiveness. And then you came along, and tore to pieces everything I believed, and I began to see things differently. You had so much love and so much forgiveness, so much faith. And then I started to think that maybe I deserve this faith.
I don't need to be perfect. I had to try, and that was enough.
He lowered eyelids, and she could see the faint pulse at his temple, he could feel him tense.
- So I think you're the wrong person for the Jace that I was, but not for Jace, who is now in front of you, Jace, you helped me become. And which, by the way, I like much more than the former.
You changed me for the better, and even if you leave me, I will remain so.

Jace pulled her to him, put his arm around her waist and kissing her neck.
- Can we go inside, ' he suggested. - There are bedrooms.
She turned to him and poked his finger in the chest. The wedding to my mother. We are not going to have sex. No way.
But I love to have sex.

- Come on, dance with me, ' he said.
Clary looked at the scene. Bat took the place behind the DJ booth, but the music is still not played.
But there is no music, she said.
Jace smiled.
- We don't need it.
And it was a hint for us to leave, ' said Isabel, taking Alec by the elbow and pulling him into the crowd. Jace grinned.

Every kiss was different, each rising higher and higher like a spark as a growing fire: fast tender kisses, he told her he loved her, long, slow and reverent kisses said that he trusts her, playful and gentle kisses that he still has hope, adoring kisses said that he believed in her like no other.

- When he said, - you've become so careful?
- I'm not careful, ' she said when he touched his lips to her temple. His warm breath stirred the hair over her ear, Just I'm not you.
It felt like he was laughing. He slid his hands along her sides, grabbing her waist. - You're absolutely right. You are much prettier.
- Love me, ' she said, her breathing was interrupted when his lips unbearably slowly traveled along her jaw. I never would have thought that someone could be so beautiful as you.

- Yes throw you! Don't toss! Oh! What a muddle... - Julian sighed, watching the slice of fried potato, almost caught him in the ear.
- Do not worry, the child eats, - stood up for Emma Tawi.

- Look, the hole will RUB off, ' said Julian, glancing at her over his smeared paint on his knees.
Emma started, knocked out of the reflection:
- Huh? What a hole?
- In stamp, of course. Again, looking at him.
His voice sounded dozhdlivaya resentment.
- Don't yell! - she hissed and snatched from the hands of Jules stylus.
