When I marched back into my parents’ home later that day, the entire family was gathered.
Rose. John. Lily. Jack.
Lily appeared as though she had not rested at all.
John got up immediately. “You have no business being back here.”
I tossed the thick folder onto the kitchen island. “Actually, it seems I always belonged here, just using a completely different name.”
Lily gasped quietly, “Oh my goodness.”
Jack demanded, “What exactly is happening?”
I stared directly at him. “Were you honestly completely clueless?”
He slowly shook his head side to side. Lily mirrored his reaction.
That actually made sense. They were brought into the world much later. Jane was almost never mentioned under our roof. Whenever her memory was brought up, John immediately stopped the conversation and Rose quickly shifted the topic.
John stretched his arm out to grab the documents. I quickly yanked them away.
