Cynthia knows it's outrageous to ask Jonathan's help when they haven't spoken a civil word in the fourteen years since she was sixteen. Yet she's just flown across the country to find him, trying to find the right words all through the four-hour flight.

She's desperate for the money, for her brother. But is she desperate enough to accept Johnny's terms?
