"I know," she said. "I believe you. But I don’t trust you."

"Yeah. To pay the bills and-"
She lifted a hand. "You’ve made bargains with demons."
"Nickel-and-dime stuff, nothing huge or-"
"You traded yourself to the Leanansidhe for power."
"When I was younger, and a hell of a lot stupider, and in trouble-"
Her inhuman eyes met mine, penetrating. "You’ve killed."
