A head injury this summer, that could explain how Sloane became Sadie, but what family would take in a random woman and declare her part of their household? Sadie's hair wasn't quite the color of Sloane's, but that was the only feature of the girl that felt entirely wrong. Everything else - including the apparent clumsiness - fit.

The girls injuries were entirely forgotten as Alice struggled to reconcile how Sadie and Sloane could be one and the same.

"I - I gave one of my best friends this charm last Christmas." Alice revealed quietly, pointing towards the one resembling a small cat. "And she had the same charms as you, they were even in the same order. And I - she was killed in an accident this past summer. Early July." But what if she wasn't? "Her family and friends were - are devastated. I don't- I don't know your circumstances or anything about your family, and I pray you'll forgive my ramblings. It's just - you look so much like her."
