(ALICE)
I know it may seem unreasonable to Katherine, heck, even Mary disagrees with me, but I can't shake off this perpetual fear that Mira may become an outcast if she keeps learning at this rate.
I don't want my daughter to live the life I led. Although my reasons for being an outcast were not the same, at the end of the day, it all boils down to being different. I was different from the other children because I did not have a wolf spirit. My daughter is different because she is too intelligent for her age.
"I am proud of her," I say quietly. "She knows that. I guess I'm just… I tend to overthink things when it comes to Mira."
"I still say you should put her in private school." Katherine sips her wine.
"She picks up on things really fast. If I had a kid like that, I would be trying to send her to the best private school I could find, even if it meant shipping her off to Switzerland or someplace where only the top one percent of the population goes."
