Leather crinkled as Evie sat up on the couch in her suite. She’d locked herself in here, alone, to weep in privacy. She should’ve taken this soul business more serious, should’ve listened to Shay when she tried to explain it. Now Shay was gone, and she had no idea how to get her sister back.

After blowing her nose, Evie tossed a soggy tissue across the living room and then downed an entire glass of wine. Half a bottle of this ridiculously smooth Bordeaux and her tears still flowed. The remedy must lie at the bottom of the bottle. In which case, Evie had some more drinking to do.

As she reached for the wine, the suite’s front door was kicked open. Max rushed inside the living room carrying Shay, and Evie jumped to her feet.

“She just collapsed,” Max said, verging hysteria.

“Put her on the couch.” Evie flung the blanket aside and Max laid Shay on the leather cushions.

“What happened?” She bumped Max from her way, running a hand along Shay’s forehead. “Where’s Simon? Alexie?”

“I don’t know. We were on the roof—”

“You, and the horn-dog soul inside my sister’s body were on the roof, alone?” Evie pushed crumpled tissues aside in search of her cell phone.

“She found me up there. We were … talking and she passed out.”

“Talking?” Evie’s eyes left the cell phone’s screen long enough to roll then she continued typing her message.

“Who are you calling?”

“I’m texting Simon. I’d feel safer being with you if he were here.”

“I’m not gonna hurt you.”

Evie snickered. “I know, but I might hurt you.”

“That’s not fair, Evie. You have no idea how hard it’s been for me.”

“Fair.” Evie tossed her cell phone onto an armchair and it bounced off the cushion, clattering to the floor.

“My parents dying wasn’t fair. Shay having another person’s soul shoved inside her body when she was six wasn’t fair. If you’re looking for fair, you came to the wrong place.”

Evie could slap Max for being naïve, but the look of defeat in his eyes sucked the fun right out of that notion. Before he could say a word, or conjure up another expression that made her want to hug him, she knelt beside Shay.

“Will it be … Jenna when she wakes up?”

“I don’t know.” Max sat on the arm of the couch, staring at Shay.

“But you want it to be Jenna?”

Max buried his face in his hands, his shoulders trembling. “I don’t know.”
