One was her leaving a counseling office

Another of her at the grocery store

A third where she was having coffee with an older lady And others They looked like her There was a family resemblance A man A woman A brother A sister Could’ve been a couple aunts, too

She see? But she was s

None of that made sense to me, but they were

We were currently watching Brooke cooking dinner with a woman Both were in their kitchen

Raize stepped up behind razed my back “Do you want to talk to her?”

I shookat the sa “No”
