“Ms Temple?”
Alice turned to see a lady and a little girl clinging to her mother’s hand. Principal Adams had told her to expect them.
“Goodmorning, Mrs Smith I assume and this must be Karine”
The two women exchanged pleasantries as Karine refused to let go of her mother’s hand.
“Karine, it’s such an interesting name..”
“When we adopted her, the nurse told us the birth mother had wanted to name the baby after her mother. I didn’t know her name so we named her after my mother.”
Alice saw the birthmark on Karine’s left ear and remembered the photograph.
P.S. The story is a continuation of sorts from #118 What If..

Nice!
No kidding a continuation. I loved #118, one of the best you have done for me, and this is icing on the cake. Please say you will bring back Alice again, and Karine (of course).
Thank you! I will get them back to visit soon. The story just begged for a continuation and I had to give in. 🙂
