“I think our biological parents would be seriously proud of us,” Ivy said.
I just wish we knew them, Olivia thought with a pang.
“Let’s make a pact,” Ivy suggested.
“A vampire pact?” asked Olivia.
“No.” Ivy rolled her eyes. “A pact between us. A sisterhood pact.”
Olivia understood. Cheerleading, dating, the ball—it had all been fun, but there was something more important.
Ivy took her necklace off and pressed her emerald ring against the one on Olivia’s finger. “We pledge to be there for each other,” she said.
“Day or night,” Olivia put in solemnly.
“In darkness and light,” Ivy went on. “We pledge to stick—”
“Together,” Olivia finished for her. And then she reached out to hug her twin sister. And as Ivy hugged her back, she knew that they both had tears in their eyes.
