----
I thought I saw her today. Down by the water. It was her hair I noticed. Do you ever see her, Lex? Does she haunt you too?

I haven't been back to Eos since I first met my step-sister, Lex.
It's been twenty-five years since that summer.
Since we went from strangers to sisters.
Since Abigail went missing.

Since we told the first lie.

Now we're back together on the island.
So much has changed since we were teenagers.
We've both tried to move on from the past - from each other.
But the island won't let us escape our secrets.

Only me and Lex know the truth about Abigail.
We've been living a lie for so long.
And if the truth comes out - neither of us will survive it . . .

The Liars transported me to the heat of a Greek summer, then and now, but more than that it took me back to the peculiarity of being a fifteen year old girl, on the cusp of adulthood, and the potency and fear of that time.
