“I hope that’s not true. My life was…normal and safe, and…I wasn’t happy. Since I met you, I feel alive. I don’t want that to go away, but I think you know that…you and I…we don’t make much sense.”
“Perhaps. Doesn’t that make it all the more exciting?”
“Sure…and I would have happily tried to make it work for as long as I could, but…the truth is…I can’t trust you.”
“Emily…”
“No.” I hold up a hand to urge him to let me finish. “You lied to me, and I’ll always question what you say or don’t say. Maybe in time…when I miss you…” I laugh without humor. “But for now, I need to be with my sister.”
“Hmm. I understand. I don’t like it, and I’ll hold out hope you change your mind, but I understand.” He reaches inside his pocket and pulls out a slip of folded paper. He taps it against his chest and hesitates to give it to me.
“What is that?”
“I did some digging while you were staying with us, and I thought you’d be interested to see this.”
He holds it out, and I slide it from his tight grip. When I unfold it and read the letter, I turn to him wide-eyed. “My birth certificate.”
He nods.
But unlike the first one he showed me, this one is legit.
