“Sarah is alive, Daniel,” Michael stated, watching every micro-expression on his former best friend's face.
The color drained instantly from Daniel’s cheeks, his fingers twitching against the edge of the leather desk blotter.
“Sarah? That’s impossible... we buried her three years ago, Michael, you were right there at the casket,” Daniel lied.
“We buried Rachel, and you bloody well know it because you helped orchestrate the entire switch,” Michael snarled.
