I Can’t Help Falling In Love
@weaponsmasterxlightwood cont. from here.
Izzy was caught off guard by his words. She had been spending some of her ‘off’ days with him. His story intrigued her. He was also still very attached, for the lack of a better word, to her best friend. She was telling herself that it was to keep an eye on him. To keep Clary safe.However, she too was developing feelings for him the more she got to know him.
“I hope this is not some scheme to get me to lower my defenses.” She watched a couple walk by holding hands.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Jonathan's heart skipped a beat and his entire being simply... froze. He hadn't meant to say it - sure, he had been thinking it, and he had been watching her do whatever it was that she was doing. Truthfully, he couldn't say what it was that she had been so preoccupied with, but there was something about her face, about the way her eyes were focused on her task at hand.
She was always at her most beautiful when her mind was working.
“Even I wouldn’t stoop so low,” Jonathan said. “And love isn’t a word I like to throw around lightly - it’s an important word.”
