“You will have to sign a document,” he explained, “stating that you knew your age and requested the job despite the law.

He had been almost certain of her identity from the moment he first looked up.

But now, watching her so determined to work a normal job, his curiosity only grew.

But he wasn’t blind.

She had the same features, the same air, even if she was doing everything possible to suppress it.
