Amaris looked at Cale sadly as she remembered what had happened two weeks ago. She didn't want him to feel sorry for her. She missed the way they used to joke and tease each other again.
It was her carelessness, but Cale always blamed himself for it. If she hadn't touched that soul fragment, none of this would have happened.
It was also significant that she was poisoned by Cale's soul fragment at the same time in her previous life when she was poisoned and Cale went to IMPA prison.
This time there was no jail time or court case. Because she touched one of the soul fragments they found on the black market, Cale's soul fragment, which had remained in the item, was stuck to Amaris' soul.
This was different from the soul fragment that Olivia had been carrying inside her since birth. Amaris' soul was invaded by Cale's soul fragment, so to speak.
