"He's not following me around. I follow him around. Bodyguard, remember?" That explained away part of Izzy's observation. The rest.. "He didn't suggest pretending to be my boyfriend. Everyone saw me in his classes and assumed it." Adam would probably freak out if he heard Izzy say that he'd suggested it.

"Why would he be angry on my behalf?" The thought hadn't occurred to him and it still didn't seem like the right answer. "I gave the wrong answer. I should have said something that Maryse would have approved of." That he wanted to be Head of the Institute or to be a better Shadowhunter. The answers that he was supposed to give. "I'll get used to it, Izzy. We knew things wouldn't be easy after the wedding."
