Part 2, Chapter 18

When Grayson wakes up, she has a conversation with Sally and Evan. Her aunt and uncle tell her that, when she first came to live with them, she liked wearing dresses and called herself a girl. However, Jack teased her so much about it that her aunt and uncle said he would stop if Grayson wore boy clothes. Since she eventually gave in, they believe that it was only a phase. Evan says that he had lost touch with his brother, Grayson’s dad, and now thinks there might have been more to Grayson’s identity than they thought. Sally, on the other hand, is furious that Finn called to offer Grayson the role of Persephone; she is afraid that Grayson will be bullied. Grayson, who does not remember her parents knowing about her being a girl or Jack’s bullying, finally understands more about her history. She is elated to learn that she got the role of Persephone.
