Ethan stepped closer to me.
“Mom?”
Adrian looked at him.
The boy had Adrian’s exact eyes.
There was no denying it.
Vanessa stared at the four boys.

He didn’t answer.
His mother appeared behind him.

Adrian stepped outside.
“Can we talk?”

The boys stayed with his mother.

He turned toward me.
“Are they mine?”
I almost laughed.
“That’s your first question?”
His face tightened.
“I need to know.”
