Isabelle definitely does know how to handle herself, and it's not the first time Alec has said it. When they first got together she seems to remember they had a similar conversation, about how Billy was a good guy but that if he ever hurt her, he'd need to be more afraid of Isabelle herself than Alec. It's a year later now and they've come a long way, but Isabelle knows Alec would still stand up for her in a heartbeat if it came to that.
"Funny that," she muses, shaking her head. "And here I was thinking I'd never find one." She pauses for a moment, considering. "Or be interested in one, come to think of it."
Genuinely nice guys weren't typically Isabelle's type, back home. Maybe that's more to do with the presence of her parents, having something to rebel against. Without them here to shock and annoy, she's ended up with the sweetest guy around. If they were here, she knows they'd still find room to be disappointed. Billy could be the nicest guy they've ever met, he's still not a Shadowhunter and they'd still say she was letting the family down.
