Summary
“You’re Kaz Brekker,” Jesper had said, breathless from the fight and bleeding from his lip. “I’ve heard of you.”
Kaz wiped the blood off his gloves with a handkerchief, “All terrible things, I’m sure.”
Or: Jesper Fahey might be a natural disaster of a boy, but he's still the best damn gamble Kaz has ever taken.

Summary
“Have you considered the possibility that Neil has chosen you, but believes you have not chosen him?” Renee says. "Have you ever explicitly told him what you want?”
“Neil knows what I want,” Andrew snaps. This is not Andrew’s fault.
“How do you know?”
Because Neil always knows. He is as fluent in Andrew’s micro-expressions as he is in German and French. He knows which head tilts mean “go on” and which ones mean “shut up.” Without ever asking, he learned what it meant to see Andrew wearing double layers of long sleeves, or taking multiple showers in a day, and learned to hand Andrew the car keys.
That has always been the most terrifying thing about Neil — his patience to wait, watch, listen, learn. The prospect that if Neil were given enough time, there would be no part of Andrew that was just Andrew’s anymore.
“He has to know,” Andrew says.
“Does he?” Renee says. “Have you ever known Neil to assume that he is wanted?”
Five times Neil tells someone that he and Andrew aren’t dating, and one time Andrew uses his words to set the record straight.

Summary
“Your college rebellious phase is descending upon you as we speak,” Henry teases, leaning over in the booth to ruffle Gansey's hair.
“Yeah, yeah, laugh it up,” Gansey quips in return, his voice bright with amusement. “You're not the one coming home for Christmas with a boyfriend, a girlfriend, and pierced ears.”
Blue leans across the table to press a lip gloss sticky kiss to his cheek before getting up to throw away their trash. “And to think you were raised Republican."

"As you keep pointing out, I've died twice," said Gansey. He was so bright that Henry almost wanted to look away from him, and so compelling that he couldn't. "I don't care what I'm supposed to be doing."
