Dove never spoke of Perse. There was an underlying hatred there for Perse, I think, that came from something dark and toxic. I don’t know what Perse did or her story, but I’m guessing whatever it was Dove wanted revenge on it. Me telling them this wouldn’t jeopardize Dove, though. She always told me that if I ever needed to, I could come forward and expose her secret, that she would be ready for them if they came for her—which she knew they would.
