Chapter 209: Unexpected Fate

Mia. Alive. After all this time. But not my Mia, was she? Not the girl I first knew as Pain, the Goth friend I'd adored despite her penchant for crazy, to discover she was the long lost daughter of the Dumont family, her power locked away for so long it shattered her mind in the end.

Why did that make me think of Liam? Why did seeing her suddenly force to the surface a terrible hope that shouldn't be anywhere near the front of my mind right now?

I couldn't help myself as she strode into the room and came to my side to stare into my eyes like she knew me.

If Mia was alive in this Universe, if she had her own version of herself here, did that mean Liam was here, too? And, if so, could I find him? Bring him home with me?
