Love Quotes in City of Bones Page 1
(Chapter.Paragraph)
| Quote #1 Simon pushed [her messenger bag strap] back up absently, his finger lingering at the bare skin of her shoulder. (2.139) |
Clary sure doesn't recognize this lingering touch, and we're not sure if Simon's doing it consciously either, at this point. We're talking ten years of unrequited love here.
| Quote #2 [Simon's] face was so familiar [Clary] could have traced its lines in her sleep. (2.161) |
This is sweet, but it's more like brother/sister love than the romantic love Simon desires. If only he was her real brother, like Jace, (spoiler alert!) then maybe she would have romantic feelings toward him…
| Quote #3 "Declarations of love amuse me, especially when unrequited." (3.57) |
Jace's amusement at unrequited love is ironic because he has his own unrequited love for Clary, his sister. He'll get down off his cynical high horse soon enough.
