Summary: Part II of the Soul Mates Series; After living in Manhattan for two years, Stress thought she knew everything about Jack Kelly or, should we say Francis Sullivan? Well, guess not.
Disclaimer: As I've said countless times before, and I'm sure I'll say it countless times again, I, sadly, do not own any of the newsies. They are © to Disney, as hard as I try to get them for myself. I do, however, own Jess/Stress, Rip, Spindle and the O'Connor's. Any other character is property of the author I've borrowed them from.
Author's Note: It's about time that I've re-uploaded this story. Like I did with Cuts Like A Knife and One Year Anniversary, I changed the New Yawk accent to English, as well as tried to tie the stories a bit closer together. Other than that, the story is the same – and I hope you enjoy it. This story was the connecting piece of fiction between CLaK and OYA and, though it took just shy of two years to complete, I adore it.
Soul Mates Series: This is the second installment in Stress & Jack: Soul Mates. It is preceded by Cuts Like A Knife (I) -- it is followed by One Year Anniversary (III) & Can't Keep Running (IV), in case you would like to follow the story further.
