“She looks like the real thing.”
You looked so much like her. It pained him. He knew you were the closest thing he had to her. Your smile. The crinkle of your eyes when you laugh. All so foreign yet so familiar.
Hed let you close to him. Making sure you knew where your loyalties laid. That you were under his protection. That’s her keep you safe in this fucked up world. You and Ellie, that’s as his priorities.
Holding you against his chest as you slept. So peacefully, so relaxed. You looked like Sarah’s mother. The peace leaving as you slowly woke up.
