Chapter Twenty-Three
Let Me Go

Clary
Magnus had gotten me all set up in my wheel chair while thoughts of Alec filled my head and my heart fluttered faster and faster.

I've waited too long for this. Way too long.

My feelings for Alec were certain, and my love for him only grew more and more as I continued on with time.

Suddenly, as Magnus gripped the handles of the wheelchair, he said, "You know, long ago, my mother had told me was like a shout out to the void."

Then I saw who sat beside him in his hospital bed.

Golden hair, sparkling blue eyes, a handsome cleanly shaven face and muscles galore, was undoubtedly my ex boyfriend slash model of the year, Jace Herondale.
