She’ll pick up the order herself.

For the first time in our lives, Bandit and I knew what it felt like to be with a loving family, and it was a lot like getting to eat a main and dessert every day, for every meal (and having starved on the streets for so long, everyone knows how much I like my food).

An ongoing mystery is finally answered, as the girls piece together their biggest part of the puzzle yet. Rather than celebrate this piece of good fortune, however, Eve is more tormented than ever as her dark secret threatens to implode the life that she has so carefully crafted for herself.
