But they cannot forbid something that is not forbidden by the Law.They will have to take your–our–individual case into consideration, and that could take months. In the meantime they cannot prevent ourengagement.”“ You are serious.” Her mouth was dry. “Jem, such a kindness on your part is indeed incredible. It does you credit. But I cannot let you sacrificeyourself in that way for me.”“ Sacrifice? Tessa, I love you. I want to marry you.Cassandra Clare

Will’s voice dropped. “Everyone makes mistakes, Jem.”“Yes, ” said Jem. “You just make more of them than most people.”“ I –”“You hurt everyone, ” said Jem. “Everyone whose life you touch.”“ Not you, ” Will whispered. “I hurt everyone but you.
