With only a few weeks left until Relapse releases on Tuesday, December 2, let’s get reacquainted with some of the characters.
I thought I already had a profile up for Jimmy, but I guess I must have taken it down at some point. You probably remember Jimmy as Siobhan’s old flame from high school. Their love starts to rekindle in Reborn, but Siobhan’s growing attraction for Jasper gets in the way. I guess, if you include Max, Reborn sort of has a love quadrangle. Things get even more complicated in Relapse when Apate decides to make Jimmy her latest boy toy. So, really, it’s a love…web? A web of love and lies…

*****
My heart beats wildly in my chest. “Friends do not hug like this.”
Jimmy moves one of his hands to my chin so that he can tilt it up. “Friends don’t kiss like this, either.”
