"So Elise is my child?" I ask again.

"Ours," Logan says.

"And I never had ... before?"

"No. That was the first time you were pregnant."

My chest constricts as I contemplate this. Maybe I knew it. I felt drawn to Elise from the moment I met her. A connection that I didn't understand but it's real. A mother knows her child. Yet, if I died in childbirth, how does she know the things that she does? She knew how I like my coffee, what colors I like, too many little details.

"How did she- how does she deal..." I don't know how to put it into words.

"She studied you. She was a teen when she found Archer's diary."

"Archer's diary?"

Logan nods. "He keeps a record of every detail from each of your lives with us. He started that long ago hoping that it would help us find a way to change fate. He believes that if we find the right thing to change we can break the cycle."

"That sounds very, Archer," I chuckle thinking of him.

Archer is meticulous. Controlled. Determined and unwavering on a path. The very things I love about him are also the things that drive me nuts. Obsessive is a mild term for Archer.

Yeah," Logan laughs. "It's his nature."

"She was only a teen when she found it? What happened then?"

"Well as you can imagine Archer wasn't happy. Elise though- she studied that book with a passion and an obsession that could only be mirrored by Archer. She wanted to know everything about you.

She read it multiple times. Then she began questioning everyone that had ever known you. No detail was too small. Her curiosity was burning. She and I talked long about you and about her desire to know you. She told me then that it made her feel closer to you. It warmed her heart knowing that you would be back."

"But ... I didn't know it was her. How hard it must be for her. She was with me but I didn't know who she was!"

A cold, empty ache settles in my guts. My daughter. She waited on me like any servant. Where she deserved hugs and kisses, welcome and love, I gave orders. What kind of mother does that? How could I not know my own child?

Logan shifts moving me so that we are looking into each others' eyes.

"Don't blame yourself. She was very happy to work as your servant. Each time you come back, your memories return slowly. If the process is rushed it doesn't always end well. She knew that. It was her idea to insert herself as your handmaiden. She wanted to be close to you while not risking your sanity by revealing the truth."

I shake my head. "But, I felt it. A connection to her..." tears choke off any more words and I'm sobbing against his chest.

He comforts me the best he can but nothing can assuage my guilt. I left her. I didn't recognize her.

"You have a very rare opportunity to know her," he says.
