WIP: Adult Finnley

Soul Collapsed - Writing the adult version of Finnley (Soul Series) has surprisingly been easy, mostly because she was brilliant to begin with. It's a lot of fun to play with her personality now but still give her a little bit of the 'younger', impulse-driven version we grew to love in the earlier books. Here's a great interaction between Finnley and Kiya.

She leaned forward and kissed my forehead. “You take it one day at a time and continue to fight for the people you care about. Whether you and Iz find your strength as a couple or as friends, I can guarantee she will be by your side. Same goes for Ryder, though probably as enemies over friends.” She smiled as I laughed. “But you will have a force behind you that no one can take away.”

“Family?”

“I was going to say your brain,” she replied, tapping the book in my lap which only made me laugh harder. “Yes, silly. Your family. Powers or not, family is the strongest bond, and you have a good one behind you.”

I nodded. “So, what would you do in my situation?”

She grinned. “I usually snuck out of House to go see your dad.”

“Really?” I asked. “You are encouraging me to leave House and go find the guy who makes my blood boil while he’s dangerously close to losing control of his powers?”

Mom pulled a cuff out of her pocket and held it up to me. “I’ve been listening to your thoughts for a couple hours now. You have a really good grasp and method behind Ryder’s powers. You might as well act on it now and see if it works.”
