City of Glass Sneak Peak

Here's a fantastic scene that will appear in City Of Glass between Simon and Jace. Who's excited?

"You lied to the Clave?" Simon wasn't sure whether to be impressed or
dismayed. "That's like a CIA agent lying to the government."
Jace looked at him blankly. "The what? You know, never mind." He raked
his hair back with his fingers. "Yes, I lied. Isabelle and Alec know,
so I doubt I'll be able to keep it forever from the Clave or the
Inquisitor. But if they knew Clary could do what she does - they'd
want her as a fighter, a weapon. And she's not equipped for that. She
wasn't brought up for it -" He broke off, sensing Simon's eyes on him.
"What?"
"You're Nephilim," Simon said slowly. "Shouldn't you want what's best
for the Clave? If that's using Clary -"
"You want them to have her? To put her in the front lines, up against
Valentine and whatever army he's raising?"
"No," Simon said. "I don't want that. But I'm not one of you. I don't
have to ask myself who to put first, Clary or my family."
Jace flushed a slow dark red. "It's not like that. If I thought it
would help the Clave - but it won't - she'll just get hurt -"
"Even if you thought it would help the Clave," Simon said flatly, "you'd never let them have her."
"What makes you say that?"
"Because no one can have her but you," said Simon.
