I looked at him and the other two people whose names Id just learned. So . . . so this is home then?Akinli looked at me, perplexed, then turned to Ben and Julie.She said some girls left her here and told her it was home. Thats all she knows. She doesnt even know you. Julie wiped at her tears, trying to calm herself.He moved his eyes back to me as quickly as he could manage. Kahlen? You remember me, right?I stared into this face, searching for something familiar. I didnt recognize the angle of his chin, the length of his fingers. I didnt know the slope of his shoulder or the shape of his lips.Akinli, right? I asked. This poor boy. I pitied him in the depths of my heart. Clearly, hed already been going through something, and I could see the last scrap of fight he had in him dying with those words.Yes.I dont remember ever seeing you before in my life. Im sorry.He pressed his lips together as if he was swallowing the urge to cry.But, I said, I know your voice. I know it as if it were my own.
