The one in the water's reflection stares at her. Every features is same: hair length, color, face shape.
The only different and important things—the trusting light in the her eyes, strong even after all the trials, the directness of the gaze, the softness of the smile—remain the same.
Funny, Katarina's never considered herself beautiful looking into a mirror or water surface before. This girl, different but identical, shows her how.
Her hand touches a cheek. A hand touches hers.
This is foolish. Katarina closes in anyway. Their faces draw near. Gazes deepen.
She seduces. Is seduced.
Foolish maybe, but Katarina turns towards the face that never lies.
