"Jace was sitting at a bar in Roma with his friends when he caught someone staring at him. He looked around until his eyes fell on a small redheaded girl smiling...
"Whatever," Jace said, turning on his heels and leaving Aline alone in front of the couple.
He walked away, feeling on his back Aline's gaze, shocked by his behaviour. Never before he had been so openly rude toward a member of her family, or left her on her own to meet someone new; but the fact that he managed to at least say on intelligible word was already a miracle.
Still, he heard the remark that Sebastian made concerning him: "Don't mind him. He's always been kind of an ass."
"Sebastian!" Aline cried out, doing her best to put some dignity in her outraged face, but when her cousin looked back at her, not feeling the littlest sorry, she couldn't help but crack a smile. "Well, Seb is right. He is kind of an ass. But only sometimes."
Clary politely smiled, her mind far away from the reflection wether Jace was an ass or not. All she could think of was the fact that it was just her luck that the one time she had a one-nightstand ended up coming back to haunt her as the husband of Seb's cousin.
"Anyway, I am Aline, nice to finally meet you. Seb told me so much about you," Aline said, presenting her hand to Clary.
Clary politely shook it, forgetting all about property for she was still in shock over meeting Jace again in that particular situation. She knew that she should let Aline know that Seb talked about her a lot as well (they have been raised together as siblings after all), and that she was happy to finally meet her as well, but the words got caught in her throat.
Still, Clary's artistic eyes took note of Aline's beauty. It was obvious that she had been a model before (Seb had told Clary that Aline paid her college tuition by modelling for a couple of magazines). Her posture alone was giving Aline, but also her manicure, the way she did her makeup and hair, and mostly the designer dress that she was wearing. Seb had told Clary that she was still modelling from time to time for a particular brand, and so Clary tried to recall if it was a famous brand that could offer such good quality cloths to their models.
