"From the first moment Morgan can remember, Claire has always been there. Big sister and little brother. Cat and Mouse. They've always understood each other, saved each other, seen each other. And they stuck to their own personal code, unwritten but understood, that siblings were inseparable, that they had each other's backs, no matter what. At least, they used to. Somewhere along the line, things between them shifted.

But Claire has her own plan for the day. One that will mean that, no matter what happens, things between them are going to change forever."--
