But you love her.Will stared at him. Of course I do, hesaid finally. I had come to think I wouldnever love anyone, but I love her.

But that's what you're doing, isn't it? You're part of the fight just as much as the Shadowhunters on the ship—and I know you can take some of my strength, I've heard of warlocks doing that—so I'm off...
