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.
