Martha looked down at the ground, shame written all over her face. “I know,” she said softly. “I know, and I’m so sorry. I don’t expect you to forgive me, but please, let me make things right. Let me help you.” Amelia didn’t know what to say.

She wanted to believe that Martha had changed, that she was truly sorry for what she had done. But she couldn’t shake the feeling that it was all just another one of Martha’s manipulative games.

But now, with her eighteenth birthday fast approaching, Martha’s sudden reappearance had thrown Amelia’s world into disarray.
