Cassandra Clare Quote

You speak of sacrifice, but it is not my sacrifice I offer. It is yours I ask of you, he went on. I can offer you my life, but it is a short life; I can offer you my heart, though I have no idea how many more beats it shall sustain. But I love you enough to hope that you wil not care that I am being selfish in trying to make the rest of my life - whatever length - happy, by spending it with you. I want to be married to you, Tessa. I want it more than I have ever wanted anything else in my life. He looked up at her through the veil of silvery hair that fell over his eyes. That is, he said shyly, if you love me, too.
