What was your name before?

Dots appeared as she typed something, but the message never came through.

Me

It doesn't change anything

Rae

Me

Rae

I don't know

I don't know how to be her any more than I know how to be me

Me

Rae

It doesn't feel like it

Me

Raven Levine

My mom never called me Rae. She didn't like nicknames. But when someone said I was a Wraith when I was a teenager, it seemed like an easy way to still sort of go by my name.

Me

You'd make a sexy Raven

Would it feel weird for you to have people start calling you by your full name?
