The drive back to Rathborn mansion goes by in a blur.

It’s almost impossible to believe that my sister is actually alive, and I don’t think I’m going to fully believe it until I see her with my own eyes.

Guilt, because my sister has spent the past ten years locked up, less than an hour from our childhood home, waiting to be rescued.

The rage, meanwhile, threatens to consume me.
