157. The reflection meets his gaze, and his worst fears are realized.
158. Instead of Eli’s childish face, light brown floppy hair, and blue eyes, he sees Irina’s sharp features, curled black hair, and deep brown gaze.
159. He reaches up and touches his face—soft skin, unfamiliar cheekbones, full lips, and earrings he doesn’t remember, smooth nails painted pale pink.
