“Really? That’s so nice of her to let you do that.” That was something that reminded her of what she and her own mom never did. Sure, her mother had brushed her hair once or twice a long time ago, but never the other way around. “I should cut it, huh? But then, I’d look quite a bit different. Maybe on day if I’m feeling more adventerous.”

She nodded sympathetically and said, “So did I. Don’t get me wrong, I love my brothers, but it’d have been nice to have a girl around here to play with. You never got one, huh? It’s too bad your mom and Luke never had one. If you’d like, I could be your honorary sister.” Izzy already thought of Clary as her sister and she had a feeling she felt the same. Her lips curled up into a smile before she said, “I’m going to guess that Simon wasn’t up for brushing hair either. Boys are no fun with that stuff, even if they do sometimes have a bit of hair.”

“Mom always wanted me to be happy, it’s why for a long time, all I got was paint and drawing supplies for my birthday.” Clary laughed and shook her hair. “I love your hair, Izzy. I’m happy to help if ever want to do something new that doesn;t involve cutting it. I can’t cut hair.” she teased. 

“You have three brothers, I doubt there was much girl time involved with them.” she said with a smile. “And while I do adore them, I can agree there’s a different environment between brothers and sisters versus sisters.” She laughed and gave a face as she shook her head. “God no, he hated anything like that.” she said. “But hey, we have each other now, and you’re already like a sister to me.” she agreed.

   “I am staying still,” Izzy huffed in a non-Izzy like way. She wasn’t used to others brushing her hair. She might have tried to get her brothers to do her hair once when they’d been younger, but since that hadn’t worked out, so she didn’t try it anymore. Now that Clary had offered to try, she wasn’t going to protest. And yet she wasn’t so sure this was a good idea after all.

   “Have you ever brushed another girls hair?” Since Clary had grown up with Simon, she imagined not. Unless her mother had let her brush her hair. Sighing, Isabelle sat back and tried to relax. “Just don’t pull it. I know the knots can be bad, but it does hurt. There’s some of that detangling spray over there if you want to use that.”

Clary gave a little smile, nodding. “My mom let me brush hers. I used to braid it.” she replied. “You’rs is just a lot longer than mom’s.” she explained. She reached to grab the detangler, working her way through the long raven hair slowly, gently brushing out Izzy’s hair. “I wish I’d had a sister growing up.” she mused softly as she smoothed out her friend’s hair. “Older or younger, it never mattered. I asked Santa for a sister at Christmas one year.” she laughed at the silly memory, setting the brush down.
