Quote by Cassandra Clare
She looked up from closing it to find Jace watching her through hooded eyes. And one last thing, he said. He reached over and pulled the sparking pins out of her hair, so that it fell in warm heavy curls down her neck. The sensation of hair tickling her bare skin was unfamiliar and oddly pleasant. Much better, he said, and she thought this time that maybe his voice was uneven too.
Summary
In this quote, Jace shows an unexpected act of kindness towards the person he is looking at. By pulling out the pins from her hair, he not only physically changes her appearance, but also creates a moment of intimacy and connection. The unfamiliar and pleasant sensation of her hair falling down her neck symbolizes a shift in their relationship. The unevenness in Jace's voice hints at his own vulnerability and suggests that his actions might have deeper emotional significance for both characters involved.
