My blood turned to ice in my veins as I turned to see Liam standing in front of me, saying my name. My real

name.

“I’m sorry,” Liam said, shaking his head and rubbing his temples. “I thought you were… Goddess, I must be losing my mind.”

My throat bobbed. “I… I’m sorry, do we know each other?”

The lie tasted bitter on my tongue. Of course we knew each other. I wanted to run to him and throw my arms around him and hold him close, but I couldn’t. And that was even more painful than I expected.

“No, we don’t,” Liam replied, but his eyes never left my face. He studied me with an intensity that made my skin prickle. “It’s just… you look exactly like someone I used to know. Someone who…” His face crumpled slightly. “Someone who died recently.”

My heart shattered into a thousand pieces right there in my chest.

“I’m so sorry for your loss,” I managed to choke out.

“Thank you.” Liam’s shoulders sagged, and for a moment, he looked so lost that I wanted nothing more than to tell him everything. Tell him that I was right here, that I wasn’t really dead, that he didn’t have to grieve for me.

But I couldn’t. The curse wouldn’t let me.

The very thought of what might happen to Liam if I revealed the truth made my stomach clench with fear. I’d already put one innocent person at risk–the farmer who’d helped me get home. I couldn’t bear the thought of Liam facing the same consequences.

“She was… she was my closest friend growing up,” Liam continued. “I should have seen her more, but you always think you have more time than you have…” He shook his head again. “I’m sorry. You don’t need to hear about my problems.”
