Cassandra Clare Quote

A pretty girl with butterfly clips in her dreadlocks put her hand on his arm. You were amazing, she told him, her voice fluting. You have the reflexes of a striking snake. You should be a stuntman. Really, with your cheekbones, you should be an actor. A lot of people are looking for someone as pretty as you who’d do his own stunts.Alec threw Magnus a terrified and beseeching look. Magnus took pity on him, putting a hand on the small of Alec’s back and leaning against him. His attitude and the glance he shot at the girl clearly communicated my date.No offence, said the girl, rapidly removing her hand so she could dig in her bag. Let me give you my card. I work in a talent agency. You could be a star.He’s foreign, Magnus told the girl. He doesn’t have a social security number. You can’t hire him.The girl regarded Alec’s bowed head wistfully. That’s a shame. He could be huge. Those eyes!I realize he’s a knockout, Magnus said. But I am afraid I have to whisk him away. He is wanted by Interpol.Alec shot him a strange look. Interpol?Magnus shrugged.Knockout? Alec said.Magnus raised an eyebrow at him. You had to know I thought so. Why else would I agree to go on a date with you?
