I had a life before. A name. A family. I've never really come to terms with what happened.

I pushed my old identity out of my mind and pretended it never existed. It's harder to do that now. I look too much like my mom.

Me

Do you want to look like her?

Rae

Not sure

She wasn't perfect, but she loved me, and she did her best

She died trying to get me out of the cellar, so maybe I do want to look like her. If I was going to sacrifice myself, doing it to protect my kid from my crazed mate would be the way to go

Me

I would never let myself get to that point

My family wouldn't, either

Rae

I know

Other than the gray hair, I look just like her. As it grows in dark, the resemblance will grow. I think I want that resemblance.

Me

If it would help, you could dye it

Rae

I guess

Idk

There's more to figure out than just the hair

Me

Like what?

Rae

My parents were a big part of the group that overthrew Grayson's family. I never told him. I thought he'd kill me for it at first. Then I was scared that I'd lose him and really be alone, after I realized he wouldn't kill me.

Me

Ah

Rae

Yeah

I'm not sure what to do
