Kyle looked up and said, "You two should head out for now. We're not finishing anytime soon. There's still plenty I need to adjust, and we might end up painting a dozen or more portraits."

Rafael stared blankly at the completed painting of the adult woman on the chair. He felt the woman in the portrait resembled Carissa's mom. Not the Melanie he had seen before heading to the Southern Frontier, but the one he remembered from his teenage years. Back then, Melanie had a rounder face, and her smile was soft and gentle.

"Let's go," Carissa said as she tugged on his sleeves lightly.

Rafael glanced down at her. "Carissa, don't you think she resembled someone?"

"Who?" Carissa asked, her gaze drifting back to the painting. There was no sense of familiarity for her.

Seeing that she didn't share his thoughts, Rafael quickly amended his statement. "Perhaps I was just seeing things. Let's step out so we don't disturb them."

As they walked out, Rafael recalled his younger days of following Salvador to Northwatch Estate. Back then, Melanie was still quite young, and Carissa hadn't yet been sent to Meadow Ridge. Carissa was an adorable little girl, soft and sweet, with a lively and playful personality. Being the only daughter after six older brothers, she was greatly cherished, and her lively, gentle nature made her all the more endearing.
