“Forty-nine thousand, two hundred and seventy-five days since I last kissed you,” he said. “And I thought of you every single one of them. You do not have to remind me of the Tessa I loved. You were my first love and you will be my last one. I have never forgotten you. I have never not thought of you.” He was close enough now to see the pulse pounding in her throat. To reach out and lift up a curl of her hair. “Never.” 

“Mizpah, Tessa,” he whispered. “In truth, for surely God was looking out for us while we were parted from one another. And he has looked out for us while we both have been parted from Will and brought us back to each other.” 

“Tessa Herondale Carstairs,” he whispered. “You should never worry about borrowing my name when you know that you can have it to keep.” 

“My apologies,” he said, “to antiquity,” and then, in a most un-Jem-like fashion, ripped the corset open down the front and cast it aside.  

“For all my life,” he said, “when someone has said the word ‘beautiful’, it is your face I have seen. You are my own very definition of beautiful, Tessa Gray.” 

“What you said before,” she asked. “That Jace Herondale loves Clarissa Fairchild more than anyone you’ve ever known except someone — you never finished the sentence. Who was it?”
“I was going to say you and me and Will,” he said. “But — that’s rather a strange thing to say, isn’t it?”
“Not strange at all.”  She cuddled in close against his side. “Exactly right. Ever and always, exactly right.”


My heart is theirs, they own it.

Ame esta pequeña historia, fue perfecta. Creo que hace un año y medio fue la útima vez que leí TID pero al leer esto puedo confirmar que TID es una historia tan perfecta que no importa el tiempo que pase, me hará sentir algo.
La escencia de los personajes esatba intacta y sus acciones me parecieron perfectas.
No puedo esperar para ver más de Tessa y Jem en The Dark Artifices
