[ Clary, of course, sees the way Finn sits, notices how sudden and hard of a landing it is, and that as much as the way he seems incapable of taking his eyes off her makes a similar heat crash through her, leaving the curve of her cheeks a little pinker than they have been before. But she doesn't let it distract her from dancing, her movements slow and seductive, obviously meant to encourage the imagination to all sorts of different avenues. And while she's not able to maintain eye contact with Finn the entire time, he's certainly the audience member that her gaze lands on more often than not.
The rush of knowing people are watching her — are being turned on by her — is as exhilarating as it was the night of the opening, solidifying the reason she decided to make it a more permanent thing. Feeling the weight of Finn's attention is better than all of the rest combined, leaving her almost anxious for the song to finish so she can better gauge his reaction off stage.
As the song comes to an end, Clary once more finds Finn in the audience, catching his eye before nodding slightly towards the side of the stage. Then the curtains close, cutting him off from view entirely but also letting her exit quickly, heading to where she'd silently invited him rather than backstage to change into something more audience-appropriate. ]
