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, you'd never let them have her. What makes you say that, vampire? Because no one can have her but yousaid Simon

We hide them from our lovers because we wish to present our best selves, but also because if it is real love, we expect our loved one to simply understand it, without needing to ask.
