"I'm fine," Alec told him with a shake of his head. He glanced around the party, eyes falling on the various smiles and laughter that were happening and wondered if he'd ever be able to get back there. He'd never been a huge on smiling or laughing but they happened.
Now, he didn't think he could have smiled if even Magnus asked him. He licked his lips and looked down at the water in his glass.
"I don't need to go anywhere." He planned to stay right where he was, keeping an eye on Isabelle and attempting civility with anyone who approached. "Thank you, though. It's all right, we can stay."
