"Cassie," Alyssa said concentrating hard on the waffle she was pouring.

"Cassandra Theresa," she corrected thoughtfully, "but nobody calls her that.  It's pretty though."

"Ring any bells," Alex asked cautiously.

 
"I knew a Cass... a student studying archeology.... " he trailed off, looking over at Alyssa for a moment and glad she was distracted before turning back to the photo album, comparing her features with the one she had known and sighing sadly "She never told me.  I never saw her again after... "  he didn't want to share details with Alex and let it trail off there.  Julia he could talk to, she was Julia and Nick's wife.. but Alex?
 
He never had felt comfortable talking about his relationships from the past with her and frowned down at the album before rubbing his hands against his face  "We still have to find her mother.  It doesn't make sense how she ended up here and not a single alarm was triggered."
