But as she said her name, Noah felt his entire body run cold.
Noah's eyes widened in surprise as realization dawned upon him, dispelling the illusion of familiarity. The unexpected truth stirred a whirlwind of emotions within him, leaving him momentarily breathless, his world shifting in an instant. He could feel his heart sitting in the bottom of his throat. Hale. Her last name was Hale. Her surname…her father’s name.
The demigod felt lightheaded, but he tried to swallow it all down and hide it from the girl as not to startle her. ”Yes,” He breathed, tears threatening the backs of his eyes with a white-hot, searing feeling that rivaled the chill in his limbs, ”let’s go see your mom.” He looked down at the girl — Ravenna, Korbin Hale’s daughter — and gestured for her to lead the way, all the while trying to keep himself steady.

no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
sitting all alone inside your head
