"I just know he's annoying and trouble." Shrugging his shoulders, he settled onto the couch and urged her to lean against him. Forward? Yes. But he didn't let his hands wander and simply held her close so she could rest and they could talk. That is... if she wanted to. He left it easy for her to get away.
"Red heads aren't my thing. I've been watching Clary grow up since she was an infant. Isabelle is a Lightwood. No offense. Bad history with your family. Nothing personal to Isabelle herself. Jace is trouble. You... you are truly a marvel." He said it all honestly and without reserve. He had no reason to lie to her and he wanted her to understand that she was special. Very much so.
And after a kiss like that... his world came to a halt. Everything inside seemed to come to life in ways it hadn't in years. And in ways that had never happened before. It was a stunning realization that he wasn't expecting at all. Sliding his hand up into her hair, he closed his eyes and tipped his head to nuzzle at the top of her head.
"Then I believe I am a very lucky man indeed and hope I did not disappoint." Smiling just a little, he looped the raven locks about his fingers and played with it softly. "I'm sorry if I'm being too forward."
