Either way, excitement hummed through me as we headed out…
““Either way, excitement hummed through me as we headed out to the garage. I’d never seen an exorcism before. This should prove interesting. “Can I yell ‘By the power of Christ, I compel you’ whenever we get to that point?” I asked. “What?” Zayne laughed as he opened my passenger door. “Hate to break it to you, but we don’t have to say a word and no one will be yelling anything like that.” I pouted. Dammit, I’d always wanted to say that. “Well, that’s not nearly as entertaining as the exorcisms I’ve seen on TV.””
