*Norah*
I feel a trifle wicked, a bit deceptive, and incredibly excited as I lightly touch my fingers to Diego's face. He is the last to sit before me. Julieta has already taken a turn. As have Felipe, Tomás, and Thiago. I'm not surprised that Joaquín refused.
Other than River, Diego is the only one whose face I want to memorize. The others... I hate to admit it, even to myself, but I have used them. It's as simple and deceitful as that. Memorizing each feature instead of the face as a whole, I take the common characteristics and apply them in a mosaic portrait to create an image of River. Thick, straight hair. Broad nose. Rounded cheeks. Square jaw. Features chiseled over the centuries, since the first conquistador set foot on Texas soil.
They each confirm what I have already surmised
