She thought maybe Dane was related to her mentor, if their eyes and faces shared a hint of similarity.

But honestly, Dane didn’t look anything like her mentor.

The hope that had just flared up in Tilda’s eyes faded quickly.

Dane watched Tilda quietly, then took a deep breath.

Tilda’s face lit up with surprise. “There are others? How many?”

“Really?”

Tilda was a bit disappointed.
