Preston slowly set the little boy down on the floor.

When the recording ended, nobody spoke.

I looked between them.

Hannah covered her face with both hands.

“The twins love hearing themselves talk,” Preston added.

Nothing matched the story I had created in my head over all these years.

For a second, I honestly thought I had heard her wrong.

“My father?”

She nodded.

I laughed softly under my breath because it sounded impossible.
