Another Pride Month Snippet! Aline stands up for her woman against some dangerous foes. :)
“What’s that?” Tavvy asked, his eyes big.
“This,” said Aline, “is a frittata. And you’re all going to eat it.” She slammed it down onto a metal trivet in the center of the table.
“Don’t like frittata,” said Tavvy.

He stooped over him, tilting his chin up. Their lips met. The other boy made a soft sound, almost like surrender, stretching under his body. He slid an arm around his neck and pulled him down onto the stairs.

Cassie also shared this artwork here, which will be featured in the special editions of Queen of Air and Darkness. She also said in a separate post, that all special editions can be purchased from Amazon, Barnes and Noble and any Indie bookstore. Here's what she said about the artwork:

Check this link: http://cassandraclare.tumblr.com/post/175112021454/special-first-editions-queen-of-air-and-darkness to find out how to get one. All the special editions contain ten interior illustrations, a full color poster by Alice, and a short story by me that functions as the sequel to the short story in Lady Midnight at Isabelle and Simon’s engagement party ;) You know the one!
