Reese knew that it probably wasn't the best idea to be at Molly's event tonight. She'd seen Jamie on the Haunted Star a few weeks ago and that should have been enough but for a mother you couldn't put a price on the time you spent being close to your child. For years Reese had been forced to stay away and now that she had the slightest ounce of freedom, her son was the only thing on her mind. Reese had spoken just a few words to Jamie on the ship, but she could still close her eyes and hear his strong voice call out her name. He sounded so grown up and yet, he was a child once more in her prescence. It came as no surprise really. Jamie had thought his mother was dead until a few weeks ago and even now, he was probably asking himself if he'd just imagined the whole ordeal. Reese had given him no explination and vanished due to reasons she couldn't confide in Jamie. And now she was hiding in the shadows, dressed in a stunning black dress and wearing a ridiculous mask and for what? So she could spy on her own child? Reese couldn't do this. She'd made a mistake in coming, clearly. Jamie was living a good life without her and she was putting him at risk being this close. It was too selfish. Reese began to take a few slow steps backwards, not wanting to draw attention to herself. She'd slip out the back door and it would be as if she'd never entered in the first place.

Her escape plan was disrupted when her eyes locked with a familiar face. It was Constance Morgan, Carly and Jason's daughter. She was dancing with a man, but Reese couldn't be sure who it was. His back was to her and for a moment she thought it must be Jamie, but before she could be certain Constance was walking towards her and Reese panicked and turned, picking up her pace down a nearby hallway. She slipped into a old, dusty room with a piano and took a shaky breath. Why was she so nervous? Constance had been like a daughter to her and Reese was acting as though she were a parasite of some sort. "Reese?" Reese stood still, knowing she had no choice but to reveal herself now. Constance asked her to prove she wasn't crazy and turn around, but it wasn't that easy. Once Reese talked to Constance, everything changed. Everything. "I...hello Constance." Reese spun around and forced a tentative smile on her face, unsure of what words to choose. "You look, you look so beautiful. Like your mother."
