It took Alec a moment to realize that Magnus was letting her in. That was what she'd hoped for but still, she hesitated, unsure if she should go in. Again, he hadn't spoken. Maybe he didn't want to talk to her. Maybe he did random acts of sorcery and disappeared, not wanting to see the people he'd helped again.

Then, she realized the thought was stupid. Magnus wouldn't have buzzed her in if he didn't want to see her. Pushing open the door, she slowly walked inside, letting the door swing closed behind her. Moving toward the steps, she stopped when she realized that the person she wanted to see was already waiting for her.

Alec wasn't quite sure what she expected him to say, but chiding her for getting out of bed too soon wasn't one of the things she'd imagined. Unlike the times when Izzy or Jace told her she was overdoing it, she didn't automatically bristle and try to prove herself. Magnus had helped her and if anyone knew whether she was all right or not, it would be him. "I thought you'd healed me so it'd be okay."
