“You’ve got it all wrong,” I said, stepping forward. My voice was hoatse. “I would never… never sell you out. You’re my sister. Asher lied to you. He twisted everything.”

Finally, I whispered, “It’s true. I got pregnant for him. But it’s not what you think. It’s not how it happened, Chlo. You don’t understand-”

She barked out an ugly laugh. “You claim you didn’t know anything, yet that day you came home stained and crying, I tried to help you. And what did you do, Savannah? You tried to sell me out too.”
