`` it was good to meet you , '' clary said .
4,085
57,015
tessa smiled radiantly and disappeared into the crowd , saying she was going to bid jocelyn good-bye ; zachariah gathered up his coat and her wrap , clary watching him curiously .
4,085
57,016
`` i remember once you told me , '' she said , `` that you had loved two people more than anything else in the world .
4,085
57,017
was tessa one of them ? ''
4,085
57,018
`` she is one of them , '' he said agreeably , shrugging himself into his coat .
4,085
57,019
you lost your parabatai ? ''
4,085
57,020
clary said , feeling a sense of shocked hurt for him ; she knew what that meant to nephilim .
4,085
57,021
`` not from my heart , for i have not forgotten , '' he said , and she heard a whisper of the sadness of ages in his voice , and remembered him in the silent city , a wraith of parchment smoke .
4,085
57,022
`` we are all the pieces of what we remember .
4,085
57,023
we hold in ourselves the hopes and fears of those who love us .
4,085
57,024
as long as there is love and memory , there is no true loss . ''
4,085
57,025
clary thought of max , of amatis , of raphael and jordan and even of jonathan , and felt the prickle of tears in her throat .
4,085
57,026
zachariah slung tessa 's scarf around his shoulders .
4,085
57,027
`` tell jace herondale that he plays chopin 's concerto no .
4,085
57,028
2 very well , '' he said , and vanished after tessa , into the crowd .
4,085
57,029
she stared after him , clutching the ring and the codex .
4,085
57,030
said a voice in her ear .
4,085
57,031
it was isabelle , her fingers tucked around simon 's arm .
4,085
57,032
maia stood beside them , fiddling with a gold clasp in her curly hair .
4,085
57,033
`` i think zachariah just stole our cat .
4,085
57,034
i swear i saw him putting church into the backseat of a car . ''
4,085
57,035
`` there 's no way , '' said jace , appearing beside clary ; he had his sleeves rolled up to the elbows and was flushed from the effort of playing .
4,085
57,036
`` not everyone , '' clary murmured with a smile .
4,085
57,037
simon was looking at jace as if he were both fascinating and also a little alarming .
4,085
57,038
`` did i-did we ever-did i bite you ? ''
4,085
57,039
jace touched the scar on his throat .
4,085
57,040
`` i ca n't believe you remember that . ''
4,085
57,041
`` did we ... roll around on the bottom of a boat ? ''
4,085
57,042
`` yes , you bit me , yes , i kind of liked it , yes , let 's not talk about it again , '' said jace .
4,085
57,043
`` you 're not a vampire anymore .
4,085
57,044
`` to be fair , you bit alec , too , '' said isabelle .
4,085
57,045
`` when did that happen ? ''
4,085
57,046
maia asked , her face lighting with amusement as bat came up behind her ; without a word he took the clip out of her hand and slid it back into her hair .
4,085
57,047
he snapped the clasp efficiently .
4,085
57,048
his hands lingered a moment , gentle against her hair .
4,085
57,049
`` what happens in the demon realms stays in the demon realms , '' said jace .
4,085
57,050
he glanced over at clary .
4,085
57,051
`` like , are you going to- '' `` i think we should all go down to the lake , '' clary said , standing up , the codex in one hand and the ring in the other .
4,085
57,052
`` it 's beautiful down there .
4,085
57,053
especially at night .
4,085
57,054
i 'd like my friends to see it . ''
4,085
57,055
`` i remember it , '' simon said , and gave her a smile that made her heart feel like it was expanding in her chest .
4,085
57,056
the farmhouse was where they had gone every summer ; it would always be tied to simon in her mind .
4,085
57,057
that he remembered it made her happier than she could have imagined being that morning .
4,085
57,058
she slid her hand into jace 's as they all headed away from the tent , isabelle darting off to tell her brother to go fetch magnus along as well .
4,085
57,059
clary had wanted to be alone with jace earlier ; now she wanted to be with everyone .
4,085
57,060
she had loved jace for what felt like a long time now , loved him so much that sometimes she felt like she might die from it , because it was something she needed and could n't have .
4,085
57,061
but that was gone now : desperation replaced by peace and a quiet happiness .
4,085
57,062
now that she no longer felt that every moment with him was snatched from the possibility of disaster , now that she could imagine a whole lifetime of times with him that were peaceful or funny or casual or relaxed or kind , she wanted nothing more than to walk down to the farmhouse lake with all of her friends and cele...
4,085
57,063
as they passed down over the ridge onto the path to the lake , she glanced behind her .
4,085
57,064
she saw jocelyn and luke standing by the tent , watching after them .
4,085
57,065
she saw luke smile at her and her mother raise her hand in a wave before lowering it to clasp her new husband 's .
4,085
57,066
it had been the same for them , she thought , years of separation and sadness , and now they had a lifetime .
4,085
57,067
a lifetime of times .
4,085
57,068
she raised her hand in an answering wave , and then hurried to catch up with her friends .
4,085
57,069
magnus was leaning against the outside of the barn , watching clary and tessa deep in conversation , when catarina came up to him .
4,085
57,070
she had blue flowers in her hair that set off her sapphire-blue skin .
4,085
57,071
he glanced out across the orchard , down toward where the lake shimmered like water held in the cup of a hand .
4,085
57,072
`` you look worried , '' said catarina , placing her hand on his shoulder companionably .
4,085
57,073
i saw you kissing that shadowhunter boy of yours earlier , so it ca n't be that . ''
4,085
57,074
everything with alec is fine . ''
4,085
57,075
`` i saw you speaking to tessa , too , '' catarina said , craning her neck to look .
4,085
57,076
`` strange to have her here .
4,085
57,077
is that what 's bothering you ?
4,085
57,078
past and future colliding ; it must feel a bit strange . ''
4,085
57,079
`` maybe , '' magnus said , though he did n't think it was that .
4,085
57,080
`` old ghosts , the shadows of might-have-beens .
4,085
57,081
though i always liked tessa and her boys . ''
4,085
57,082
`` her son was a piece of work , '' said catarina .
4,085
57,083
magnus laughed , though it was as brittle as twigs in winter .
4,085
57,084
`` i feel the past weighing on me heavily these days , catarina .
4,085
57,085
the repetition of old mistakes .
4,085
57,086
i hear things , rumblings in downworld , the rumor of coming strife .
4,085
57,087
the fair folk are a proud people , the proudest ; they will not take the shaming from the clave without retaliation . ''
4,085
57,088
`` they are proud but patient , '' said catarina .
4,085
57,089
`` they may wait a long time , generations , for vengeance .
4,085
57,090
you can not fear it coming now , when the shadow may not descend for years yet . ''
4,085
57,091
magnus did n't look at her ; he was looking down at the tent , where clary sat talking with tessa , where alec stood side by side with maia and bat , laughing , where isabelle and simon were dancing to the music jace was playing on the piano , the haunting sweet notes of chopin reminding him of another time , and the s...
4,085
57,092
`` you worry about them ; you worry about the shadow descending upon those you love . ''
4,085
57,093
alec had broken away from the others and was heading up the hill toward the barn .
4,085
57,094
magnus watched him come , a dark shadow against the darker sky .
4,085
57,095
`` better to love and fear than feel nothing .
4,085
57,096
that is how we petrify , '' said catarina , and she touched his arm .
4,085
57,097
`` i am sorry about raphael , by the way .
4,085
57,098
i never got a chance to say it .
4,085
57,099
i know you saved his life once . ''
4,085
57,100
`` and then he saved mine , '' magnus said , and looked up as alec reached them .
4,085
57,101
alec gave catarina a courteous nod .
4,085
57,102
`` magnus , we 're going down to the lake , '' he said .
4,085
57,103
`` i mean , i 've seen it before , but there was a huge angel rising out of it , and that was distracting . ''
4,085
57,104
`` carpe diem , '' she said to magnus .
4,085
57,105
she picked up her skirts and wandered off toward the trees , her feet like blue flowers in the grass .
4,085
57,106
there were fireflies down by the lake .
4,085
57,107
they illuminated the night with their winking flashes as the group spread out jackets and blankets , which magnus produced from what he claimed was thin air , though clary suspected that they had been illegally summoned from bed bath and beyond .
4,085
57,108
the lake was a silver dime , reflecting back the sky and all its thousands of stars .
4,085
57,109
clary could hear alec naming off the constellations to magnus : the lion , the bow , the winged horse .
4,085
57,110
maia had kicked off her shoes and was walking barefoot along the lakeshore .
4,085
57,111
bat had followed her , and as clary watched , he took her hand hesitantly .
4,085
57,112
simon and isabelle were leaning together , whispering .
4,085
57,113
every once in a while isabelle would laugh .
