Chapter 2: The Name on the Screen
"He has the same birthmark," Thomas said.
His voice was barely above a whisper.
"Julian has that exact mark.
In the exact same place.
I've seen it a hundred times."
I couldn't breathe.
"Thomas, that doesn't mean—"
"Don't." His hand shot up.
"Don't say another word."
He stepped back from the bassinet.
Away from Leo.
Away from me.
"All those months," he said slowly.
"Every time I worked late.
Every time Julian was here with you and the girls."
"He was helping us.
You know that."
"I thought I did."
He picked up his coat from the chair.
His hands were shaking so badly he could barely hold it.
"Thomas, please.
Listen to me."
He stopped at the door.
Didn't turn around.
"I called my brother last night," he said quietly.
"He's a doctor.
I described the mark.
He told me it's a genetic trait.
It doesn't just appear randomly."
My whole body went cold.
Then his phone buzzed on the bedside table.
We both looked at it at the same time.
The name on the screen made the air leave my lungs completely.
Julian.
