Chapter 79

"Aelin Washford?" She asked and I nodded before I remembered that I was on a call with her and that she would not see me.
"Yes." I muttered, my heart beating loudly in my chest. Unconsciously my left hand rubbed my aching chest, everything was just going crazy by the second, he did not know what to do, could it be really possible that Aelin was the same as Rae? "Do you remember?" I urged when my mother kept quiet a little bit.
"Yeah, of course I remember that little angel, she was your friend, when we were in Mexico, her family had just moved to the neighborhood… but then that fire happened." She said, her voice fond of the little girl.
I wondered why she would think of that little girl ended up being Rae.
"Do you know what happened to her after? After that fire?" I held in my breath, waiting for an answer even as I held the picture in my hands, glancing at it every now and then.
