“Remove your mind from the gutter for a moment,” said Clary. “We have to find Maryse’s brother, and bring him home.”
To her surprise, Jace looked worried. “There’s the chance he won’t want to come home.”
“Of course he will. Think how you would feel, if you spent decades completely cut off from your family, your friends, everyone and everything you know.”
“I think,” Jace said carefully, “that I would feel extremely angry, if my family and friends and everyone I knew made me choose between them or losing you.”
“All the more reason to find him and tell him things are different now. That Maryse is different.”
“What if he doesn’t care? Just because she wants his forgiveness doesn’t mean he’s ready to forgive. And…” Jace looked away. “Sometimes losing someone hurts less than getting them back.”
