Clash of the Otherworlds: book 1, After the Fall
“ When did that happen? Because I didn't get the memo, Tones." I gestured between the two of us. "We share shit. We're soulmates. We don't keep secrets."Tony smiled. "You feel pretty strongly about this, I see.""You bet your sweet, freckled ass I do. Now spill it. I want to know what you've been up to and what kind of crazy shit they've talked you into doing.""No one's talked me into doing anything. Everything I've done has been my own idea.""Well, what is it then? Stop stalling." I ...fixed him with my staredown, knowing he'd never be able to resist me now."You can lose the lunatic expression, Jayne.

Finding a spirit who is still there now, and who was also there back then, is difficult on a couple levels.""As in ...?""Plead the fifth!"
