Beside me, an older woman turned to look at my face, her eyes widening as she recognized the small, faint scar near my jawline—the mark of the girl who had run away from the Oakhill high school district nineteen years ago.

"This red dress," Liam whispered, his eyes filling with tears that caught the stage lights like diamonds, "is the exact gown my mother, Sarah Owens, had saved up to wear to her own senior prom nineteen years ago—the prom she was barred from attending by the school board because her pregnancy was deemed a 'disruptive moral element.' She kept it wrapped in tissue paper at the bottom of her closet for two decades, a relic of a life she sacrificed so that I could live mine."
